Is Brian Dowling getting the boot from Big Brother?
Evictions are a major part of reality show Big Brother, but it's not usually the presenters facing the chop.
But sadly it looks like that could be on the horizon for host Brian Dowling as rumour has it he could be getting replaced by Big Brother On The Side presenter Emma Willis.
Channel 5 bosses want Emma to take over the main show in a bid to inject some glamour into Big Brother.
Brian, who won the show in 2001, has been hosting the programme for two years since it made a move from Channel 4 to Channel 5. But Big Bro bosses want Emma to take over to try and recapture some of the excitement of the Davina McCall years.
An insider said: "Brian has been a great host but Emma is seen by channel chiefs as a true successor to Davina. They're talking to her now about taking over the role from the summer.
"Like Davina when she hosted the show, Emma's young, a mum of two, and very glamorous.
"The audience love her on BBBOTS and execs want to capitalise on that.
"She's thinking it over but it's a great opportunity and she would be mad to turn it down."
Only problem is Brian's contracted to present the show for the next two series, so Channel 5 will have to compensate him if Emma decides to take the job.
Poor ol' Brian.
