Roman Kemp, Emily Atack and Vick Hope reportedly emerge as contenders to host the revival of Big Brother on ITV.

Roman Kemp, Emily Atack and Vick Hope have all reportedly emerged as contenders to host the new series of Big Brother.

The iconic reality show is making a UK comeback next spring, with a new six-week series airing on ITV2 and streaming service ITVX.

A whole host of names have been linked with the key job of the show's main presenter, including This Morning's Alison Hammond, comedian Mo Gilligan, ex-Love Island star Maura Higgins and presenter AJ Odudu, while ex-BB hosts Rylan Clark and Davina McCall have also been touted as options.

According to The Sun, three more names have entered the fray - presenter Kemp, comedian Atack and radio host Hope - with the latter two said to be towards the top of the shortlist.

"Emily and Vick have emerged as the favourites," a source told the newspaper.

"A huge list was drawn up with a number of big-name stars on it, including Davina. However there is a feeling bringing in a fresh face would be good for the reboot.

"Emily is already part of the ITV2 family with her work on Celebrity Juice. Vick is a great interviewer and would bring a younger audience to Big Brother thanks to her job on Radio 1. Roman has also had talks and has made the shortlist.

"Rylan Clark is another name in the mix but like Davina he has worked on Big Brother before."

ITV is expected to make a final decision in the next few weeks.
