Emma Willis is rumoured to be replacing Brian Dowling as host of 'Big Brother'

Brian has served as the main host since the reality series' moved to Channel 5 in 2011, with Emma hosting the nightly spin-off show, where she has proved a big hit with viewers.

It has been reported that Brian would be demoted to Emma's former role as he is still contracted with the franchise for the next two runs, although producers fear he will be unlikely to settle for it.
