Big Brother is set to return to our screens next year and some of Dublin's most popular exports are among favourites to become host.
With the finale of Love Island on ITV last week attracting millions of viewers across Ireland and the UK, TV bosses found it the perfect time to announce the comeback of the old favourite. ITV2 are taking over from Channel 4 and relaunching the show with a whole new house and cast.
Questions surround who the new host of the show is going to be, with many calling for the return of the original star of Big Brother Davina McCall. But there are also several Dubs in the running for the show, including Love Island host Laura Whitmore.

Among other Irish hopes are Joanne McNally and Brian Dowling with Jedward among the list but with a tiny 100/1 chance to take over. The favourite however is reality star Rylan Clark who made it to fame on the X Factor is a former winner of Celebrity Big Brother.
Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: "Reality TV fans are buzzing with the Big Brother reboot news. Since the announcement, we have been inundated with bets on potential hosts for the new show, including a flurry of bets on Irish stars Laura Whitmore, Joanne McNally and Jedward. If the latest odds are to be believed, we wouldn’t be surprised to see an Irish presenter at the helm when the show returns to our screens next year!"
