Clever tasks, nail-biting nominations and live evictions will be back, with the public once again playing a crucial role, voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner, who will walk away with a life-changing cash prize.” AJ Odudu and Will Best, on hosting duties, have been expressing their excitement about presenting the show on their respective Instagram pages. Earlier this week, they had a go at doing impressions of the show’s narrator Marcus Bentley, who will also be returning. The show first began in July 2000 with Davina McCall as a presenter for the first 10 years followed by Brian Dowling and Emma Willis.

The presenter said: “Of course I would have done it. “I’m being really honest now, but in retrospect, I don’t think it would have been the right fit for me. “It’s come a long way since I hosted it and I am a different person.” Davina has also said she’s happy to pass the baton on to the show’s new presenters and has spoken to AJ about it. “I spoke to AJ, I had to remind her that I used to do the show when it started,” she shared. “It was quite daunting, so I wanted to give her my blessing. I know that I didn’t need to, but I wanted to pass on the baton.” Emma also said of the new series: “I am literally as happy as a pig in muck. “She’s [AJ] a very dear friend of mine and I did champion her from the beginning because I love her and I think she’s going to do a phenomenal job,” she added to The Sun’s TV Magazine.
