Emma Willis to leave Big Brother’s Bit On The Side

 Posted on February 2 2015 at 08:11am by Matt Scott



Emma Willis is to leave her role as main presenter of Celebrity Big Brother spin-off Bit On The Side after almost three and a half years, bbspy can confirm.

Tonight’s edition of the magazine show will be the last to be fronted by the 38-year-old, and Rylan Clark will take over with immediate effect.

 

Rylan is slated to host the remaining four episodes of the current series, and bbspy understands that he will become the sole presenter of BOTS when it returns alongside Big Brother’s sixteenth civilian run this summer.

 

However, Emma will continue to host the main show – including launches, evictions and finales – and it is expected that she’ll still make weekly guest appearances on BOTS.

 

No reason has been given for the move, though it is believed to be due to Emma’s workload, with her profile having skyrocketed since she became the face of the main show.

 

Just five months after she replaced Brian Dowling, BBC One hired her for The Voice UK – and last month the broadcaster announced that she will team up with Reggie Yates on new gameshow Prized Apart.

 

 

This story is developing – more details to follow…

Rylan has improved over time and I think is an  unbiased presenter - he doesnt get as emotionally involved as Emma seems to with the HM's

 

I dont see him as a sole presenter - too much for one person especially the long run in the Summer and dont forget we have that dreadful Steven Goode waiting in the wings 

 

but that could be a red herring  and .....  if Kimberley now gets deported over her visa then he will obviously follow her home

Where's the Titanic when you need it, eh?

 

I always think of Bots as Rylan's show anyway - he's brilliant at it.   I wouldn't mind him doing the main show in the fullness of time, but I think you might need a crowbar to get Emma off it...

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that....    I do think it will take something major to get her to go though because I think she's a genuine fan of the show.

I can't believe they're in magazines like OK. Wonder if they're actually paying Ok to interview them ???

I dont think it was a magazine article - more like OK online made a story from the tweets the couple tweeted

Not in a physical way, but he is a better presenter than I thought he would be, but still not an incentive for me to tune in.
