Davina McCall thinks Big Brother would be ruined by "cancel culture" if it was to air now.
Fans have been calling for the show - which sees people live in isolation away from the rest of the world where they are monitored 24 hours a day by live TV cameras - to make a huge return as of late, especially since it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020.
However, Davina - who presented the show for a decade between 2000 and 2010 - doesn't think it would work as a programme nowadays because the "expectations" of television have changed somewhat.
"I don't know if you could bring it back now. The one time I thought Big Brother coming back would have been amazing was for the 20th anniversary in 2020. Everybody was locked down," she told Fabulous magazine.
"But if it came back now, it would never be the same as it was. And it’s not because of the programme but because of society. It’s changed so much and the expectations of TV have changed - I just don’t know if you could do it."
She added: "In today’s culture, people would be constantly getting chucked out for saying something."
Back in 2018, it was confirmed Big Brother - or its sister series Celebrity Big Brother - wouldn't be making a return to Channel 5. At the time, it was just about to air what ended up being the final series.
"The forthcoming series of Big Brother will be the last - of either celebrity or civilian versions - on Channel 5," a statement read at the time, "We’d like to thank Endemol and all of the production team who have worked tirelessly to make the show a success.
"Most importantly, we’d like to thank fans of the show for their support over the last seven years."
Back in 2020, they aired a Big Brother's Best Shows Ever show, which was a highlights reel of all the best moments.
"I lived and breathed Big Brother for 11 years," she said at the time, "Not one week goes by when I don’t quote Big Brother in some form. It made me laugh, it made me cry and it taught me to never judge a book by its cover.
"I love the show and can’t wait to share it with a whole new audience."
