Host of Big Brother’s new spin-off show Bit On The Side, Emma Willis has confessed she’s completely obsessed with the show – and is proud to be!
The telly host tells Star magazine this week that she’d take a job making tea if it meant she could watch the live feed all day…
“There’s no hiding it – I am obsessed and proud of it!” the 33-year-old telly presenter says.
She – perhaps regrettably – admits: “Last year I printed pictures of every housemate from every season and pinned them up in my dressing room, like a weird shrine.
“I’ve watched pretty much every episode of every series. I reckon only Davina McCall has watched more episodes than me!”
But it’s not just Big Brother, Emma Willis is one of us – a reality telly addict!
“I’m a reality freak! I watch X Factor, Strictly, I’m A Celebrity… but some nights when my two-year-old daughter has gone to bed, me and my husband [Matt Willis] watch Lost or Entourage. I watched News Night last night. I think Jeremy Paxman would be brilliant housemate!”
Ultimately however, it’s about Big Brother, and Emma says she’s not annoyed about being snubbed for the main presenting job – because she’d take any offer to work on the hit series.
“I’m just glad to get any job on the show – I’ll make the tea as long as I can watch the live feed,” Emma said.
She added: “If I was Brian Dowling I’d fee; pressure, so I’m relived I’m not in his shoes.”
Big Brother’s Bit On The Side airs weekdays on Channel 5 from mid-August.
