BIG Brother legend Davina McCall has flatly ruled out going full circle and being a housemate on the soon-to-be revived Celebrity Big Brother.
The TV regular, who hosted the original show from 2000 to 2010, admits no massive pay cheque would make her even consider the idea.
Speaking to The Sun at the ITV Palooza in London, Davina, 56, said: "No I wouldn't do it.
"Flat out no. I don't want to have people seeing me sleeping. There are bits I would like to save for my partner and my kids
"I think it is quite a public thing being a famous person and seeing everything that you do and how you behave is too much.
"I feel like I want to save a bit for my family."
Last month TV bosses confirmed that Celebrity Big Brother will return in 2024 on ITV's main channel – six years after it bowed out on Channel 5.
Will Best and AJ Odudu, who have just wrapped ITV2's debut civilian series, will once again host the show.
Insisting she still has a lot of love for the show, Davina continued: "I haven't seen any of it bar the first night which is terrible but I was working every evening and then I went away working as well.
"It's still got life in it which I think is testament to the format being so good.

In comparison, this summer's Love Island only managed half of that with 1.3 m tuning in for it's launch episode.
