DJ and presenter Roman Kemp reveals that he has held talks about hosting ITV's reboot of Big Brother.

Capital DJ Roman Kemp has admitted that he has held discussions about hosting ITV's upcoming reboot of Big Brother.

After five years off the air, the iconic reality show is returning for a new six-week run on ITV2 and ITVX next autumn.

A new presenter will take the reins from the last host Emma Willis, and Kemp is believed to be on a shortlist for the job alongside the likes of Vick Hope, Emily Atack and Alison Hammond.

"I'd love to present Big Brother," Kemp, 29, told The Mirror.

"There have been talks. I've always been a huge fan so I'd do my best to do it justice."

He added: "Davina (McCall, OG host) and I were talking about it the other day. She said I should do it."

ITV is also in the hunt for a host for Big Brother's as-yet untitled companion show.
