Emma Willis has categorically ruled out returning as host of the revival of Big Brother on ITV2.
The 46-year-old took over from Brian Dowling as the show's presenter in 2013, a role she continued until Channel 5 axed the programme in 2018.
Earlier this month ITV announced that it will broadcast a new series in 2023 but has yet not confirmed who will serve as presenter.
Talking to the Radio Times, Willis said: "I think with every new era of Big Brother, I think there should be a new host.
"You know, I loved my time on the show, and I very much kind of said goodbye to it back then because we thought it was over. I don't tend to go back. I like to move forward."
She added: "I think it's right. It's starting again, it's got a new home – it should have a new host."
Among those rumoured to be in the frame for the role are Bit On The Side's Rylan Clark, BB legend Alison Hammond and comedian Mo Gilligan.
