Alison Hammond has revealed she would love to host the Big Brother revival if the job offer were to come her way. 

The presenter, 47, found fame after competing in the show in 2002, and with the series scheduled to come back next year after four years away, she’d love to be involved again. 

She told Metro.co.uk at the 2022 Ethnicity Awards in partnership with Metro: ‘I’ve not been offered that role at all, but obviously if it came my way who knows?

‘I’d have to think about it, definitely. I mean I started my whole journey on Big Brother, my career started from there, so I owe it a lot. 

‘I love the show, I’m a massive fan of the show so yeah, I would love to do that!’

Auditions to become a housemate have opened and it’s been confirmed that Big Brother could be back as early as March 2023, but the host for the revival remains up in the air.
