O\u2019Leary presented Big Brother\u2019s Little Brother between 2001 and 2008, during Davina McCall\u2019s time as the main show\u2019s host.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Metro<\/a> about ITV2\u2019s Big Brother, which the channel announced earlier this year<\/a>, O\u2019Leary said that the reboot has \u201cvery good people working on it\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI think a lot of people that used to work at Channel 4 now work at ITV,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s got to be a bit different.\u201d<\/p>\n He went on to say that it will need to differ from ITV2\u2019s existing reality competition Love Island, adding: \u201cAt the same time, for me, I think it needs to have enough clear blue water between it and Love Island.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do think it needs to be very diverse. I think it needs to be diverse in the people that are in the house, diverse in its thought.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it needs to have a lot of separation between Love Island and less of a popularity contest and more of a social experiment with a popularity contest chucked in. But I\u2019m excited, I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing it.\u201d<\/p> ITV2 revealed during the Love Island<\/a> 2022 final that it would be reviving Big Brother, which last aired on Channel 5 back in 2018.<\/p>\n While the broadcaster is yet to confirm the new face of the show, former presenters Davina McCall and Emma Willis have ruled themselves out<\/a>, with McCall telling RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cI will be supporting it with every fibre in my body. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
