Big Brother 5 - Davina McCall

Leg-warmers, nurse's outfits and Michelle's singing - Davina spilt the beans in a live webchat...

Chat Ed : Hello everyone, welcome to our live webchat with Big Brother presenter Davina McCall!

Davina McCall : Hello fans of EVIL I'm already feeling bereft at the idea of BB ending. How are you guys feeling?

Evil Muffin : hello
emma-supafan : hay D how r u?
Stu2Win : Which of the remaining housemates are you most looking forward to interviewing?
little miss mortisha : can i have the nurses outfit you were wearing davina ;)

Davina McCall : I would say I'm really looking forward to interviewing Michelle because I think she'll be quite open and talk honestly and Dan because he's quite intelligent and has been involved with everybody in the house across the spectrum, and Nadia just to see if I'll be able to understand anything she says and because I love her. Oh and Jason too - just to give him a hard time about being so miserable in the last few weeks - where did the man in the thong go?!

MarkInGlasgow : Hello Davina x x x x x x xx x x x love u love love u!
Pup : Have you ever considered a nice pink, or powder blue outfit for an eviction night? Why the endless dark of the deepest black??
Stu xxx : Stu xxx - Black is your signature colour will you be choosing another colour for the finale? I suggest Hot pink :o) x
RDJ379 : Was it your decision to wear black all the time?
Goat_Girl : Black rocks!!

Davina McCall : Black is my signature colour and that started in year two when I was pregnant with Holly. The Producer basically said I looked fat in any other colour, so it became a theme.

ruth -D : black is sexy

Davina McCall : But this year, for the finale, I will be wearing black but it will be a .....Dress! And I did wear a red belt last week, don’t forget that!

Georgia : ooh a dress!
Bumblefat : Davina - I love your style, very glam and very chic. Which Big Brother housemate do you think has the best sense of style?

Davina McCall : Oh without a doubt, I think it's Shell by miles.

lfc_girl : Shell's fashion sense is great :)

Davina McCall : So much so that I even bought some leg warmers the other day. How sad is that - I'm even copying housemates! Dan is a close second for style.

Stu2Win : Davina, which of this years weekly tasks have you liked best?

Davina McCall : Oh you know what... my favourite task of all time was boot camp; just because of the dynamics between the housemates and the secret that Michelle and Jason had to keep. It just had such an amazing effect on them all. They all sort of unravelled before our very eyes - it was brilliant.

Evil Muffin : Do you think this year has been the most entertaining of all the Big Brother series?

Davina McCall : Umm...Yes I think it probably has. This year probably comes first, then I'd say year two, then year one, then year three then four.

luke : davina did u like vic?

Davina McCall : The thing is, Vic the gangsta was quite funny but he also had a big soft side - he loves his mum and his kid. I really didn't like angry Vic; he was fairly spiteful then, but there is bad and good in everyone. He was a really entertaining housemate, but his angry side was quite frightening. I don't think I would have liked to be on the receiving end, but his best bits made me think I would miss him in the house as he was really funny.

siana : Hey Davina!! I loved Victor's sniffle's line - what was your fav housemate quote this yr?

Davina McCall : I loved Victor's sniffle line as well.

bigbrorocksa : no naked jacuziness!

Davina McCall : Possibly - 'No naked jacuzziness'

ash : puh! puh! puh! puh!
mark Fitz : Davina, have many of the previous evictees tried desperately to befriend you in their quest for fame

Davina McCall : Actually none of them have.

Yeher Nadia : i would!

Davina McCall : I'm good friends with one of the housemates, Anna, although I haven't seen her for ages. She was the only housemate I kept in touch with after the show. I think they all know that it's a hopeless cause.

MYGIRL : Davina what do you think of the relationship between stu and mich?
Pingu : Do you think the romance between Stuart and Michelle has become a little strange now, they are forced to be with each other without break all day every day, I'm sure it can't be a good thing?

Davina McCall : I really could talk about this for hours.

liljulie : especially when she starts singing

Davina McCall : But my opinion is that Stuart and Michelle genuinely like each other but Michelle has had very little experience in relationships and therefore is just really possessive and, in my opinion, stifling. I thought that the under the table business was the beginning of her downfall in the public eye even though, strangely, Stuart seems more attached to her since then and is more receptive to her advances.

Katie b : she tells him off like he's a lil kid

Davina McCall : I feel sad because I thought Michelle was really good fun up until she got really into Stuart and since then she has just been too one-dimensional and into him.

Kissixx : I think her singing voice is too wobbly what do you think davina

Davina McCall : She reminds me of when I did PopStars and everybody was trying to sing that Alicia Keys song with that warble. But, if she warbled less, I think she's got a great voice.

eliza : davina, another question, if you were a single gal in the house, who would you most be like

Davina McCall : I'm not sure I understand, do you mean who would I be like as a girl or who would I fancy? If it's both then Daniel is great, physique –wise - he's tall and handsome and he's got style and you can have a great conversation with him. As a girl I'd like to be a cross between Nadia for her sense of humour and sensitivity and Shell for her style and her body.

Andy! - Davinas Pot : Do you get nervous when an unpopular housemate is evicted?

Davina McCall : I don't get nervous anymore about the booing because I've realised now that it's just panto and people always still want to shake their hands and say hi to them. So they boo, but it's for fun; it's a play boo.

becky : i still feel bad for the people getting bood

Davina McCall : I always whisper 'It's all a panto' into the housemates’ ear when we are at the press section to make them feel better, so watch out for that tonight if they get booed.

the_minpin : how is this gonna work if 5 people are gonna be left in the last week?
Gemzy : hi is it a double eviction tonight?
maz : Do u think dan will walk?

Davina McCall : There's no double eviction. There's a show on Wednesday - that's in the papers and no, I really don't think that Daniel will walk. I think, having got this far, he probably wants to win - which is completely normal.

Alasdair : Davina, will there be any last minute dashes of evil in the final week? ;)

Davina McCall : Oh yes, there were some real dashes of evil today where Big Brother made them all pack their cases and they have no idea what's going on. They don't know there is a show next Wednesday. The evil lives on…

steph : what song would u have for your best bits?

Davina McCall : My favourite song of this series has been Lola's Theme by The Shapeshifters or Lady Marmalade for me.

miss_libertine : hi davina were u wearing a nurses outfit on bblb?
steph : had to laugh when dermots eyes lit up at the sight of u in that nurses outfit
JaseyBoy : i think you should wear the nurse outfit tonight
anna_bella : nice boots
nat : dermot secretly loves you!!!

Davina McCall : Yes my husband asked me the same question when I woke up this morning. This isn't actually a nurse’s outfit, it's just a white dress but it seems to be causing quite a stir - I love it. It's medication time!

lyric : do you think Nadia has any thing to worry about?
Andy! - Davinas Pot : What do you think of the feedback on Nadia's secret?

Davina McCall : I think that Nadia will have a tough time when she comes out of the house because although we accept her as a woman, finding love, which is what she wants, will be hard because she will have to break through prejudices that people may have.

jules : i love her

Davina McCall : But having Nadia in there has taught me a bit about transsexuals and what perhaps made me giggle at the beginning of the series I feel more sensitised about now. I hope she finds other people sensitive to her issues.

Jayke1981 : Do you think that this has been the most explicit BB since the UK version began?

Davina McCall : Well...I suppose explicit in as much as we've seen, or heard, moaning ;)

ash : i think so theres me more drama and sex than any other big brother

Davina McCall : But, I suppose there is a lot more BB could have shown as far as autoeroticism and things like that and they haven't. With regards to Stuart and Michelle - yes, I guess so.

penja : davina...im feeling terrible cant you make it go on 10 more weeks?

Davina McCall : This is the conversation that I had with my Producer today! I so know how you feel, I'm just bereft about it as well but it wouldn't be as good if we didn't have to wait for it to happen again.

phil : put kitten back in!
sarah23 : are you sad it’s nearly over
XXx_Kiara_xXX : Who do you expect to go tonight?

Davina McCall : Well, I can't really say who I expect to go tonight, but my feeling is that it's a two horse race. And out of those two it would be very hard to say.

alrightcheeky : JASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please
steph : jason out!
muffinpie : michelle will go

Davina McCall chuckles

siana : DAV-EEEE-NAAAA ~ hehe were you scared of interviewing Ahmed after his yelling?!!
furhad : what did you really think of Ahmed?
sweetdreamz : i luv ahmed
muffinpie : ahmeds cute

Davina McCall : Ahmed was quite a difficult interview, merely because he was quite quiet and studied, but what I love about all the housemates is that they are who they are in the house. So, Ahmed was crazy Ahmed in the interview just as I'd seen him in the house. Although he did scare me at times.

Lois : I'm not a sandwich

Davina McCall : Exactly Lois!

XxTaraxX : Do you think that Nadia has the strongest personality in the house

Davina McCall : Erm... I think she is pretty tough and she says how she feels and she wears her heart on her sleeve which, as a viewer I always find quite appealing. I love her emotional side. I'm half French, I can identify.

Bacon : at which eviction were u most shocked at to announce the evictee?

Davina McCall : Probably last week with Victor. I really thought that Jason would go even after Victors fight at the wedding. So I was really shocked by that.

Tommy : Davina, who do you think will become the most famous after this series of Big Bro?

Davina McCall : Well, I’ve got a feeling that Michelle might become the most famous - it depends how she plays it when she gets out. If she goes with her plan to be a glamour model then possibly her. If not, then you may see Victor presenting or maybe Shell doing some styling stuff.

hairyman : If you were in the house would you be a Jungle Cat or the Harem or a fence sitter?

Davina McCall : I'd be a Harem!

sweetdreamz : HAREM!!

Davina McCall : And I'm sure I'd even cultivate an annoying laugh.

jules : fence sitters all the way
SarahJN500 : Davina are you a viewer?

Davina McCall : Absolutely! Obsessed!

Chat Ed : Our half hour is now up with Davina folks…say your goodbyes.

Loopyloose : Have a great night tonight Davina, say hello to Michelle from us all!!
Calum : Bye Davina!

Davina McCall laughs

hot_hooves : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alistair : Bye davina

Davina McCall : Thanks so much for watching and coming in to see me and I'll see you next year! Will I be pregnant again!? My husband hopes not!

Madman01 : Byeeee davina you have been evicted from our chat room
Mogwai : au revoir
TheGasMan : Bye bye Davina, cya 2nite babe xx
i_love_victor : yay bye xxxxxxx

Davina McCall : Bye!

Davina McCall leaves the room
