Now bosses look to female stars who have the strength to hold the show together, while also having the warmth to gently question contestants the way Davina McCall and Emma Willis did so well.

‘Maura is a homegrown ITV talent and has it all – and of course looks amazing on screen.’

MailOnline has reached out to Maura’s representatives and ITV for comment.

During last month’s Love Island final, it was announced that Big Brother would be revived by ITV after a five-year hiatus.

But according to the mirror TV bosses promise the reboot will include everything viewers loved about the original series and “will not be like Love Island.”

A source told the publication: ‘There will be a varied casting across different ages, which is what made it so special. It won’t be like Love Island, where the participants are all young social media influencers – they want all walks of life

They went on to say: ‘There will be absolutely no outside influence – just like in the original series – so they won’t get a day off every week like in the villa’.

“It will have everything viewers loved about the retro series, with nominations, a public vote and live evictions, but they want it to appeal to a new generation.”

MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.

The show started in 2000 as a social experiment and became a regular part of popular culture.

Ordinary members of the public entered the iconic house and skyrocketed to fame while being watched 24/7 by the British public. while a celebrity version of the show featuring celebrity roommates also ran from 2000.

The experiment captured the hearts of millions, who were able to tune in to the 24-hour live feed even at night.

It first aired on Channel 4 from 2000 to 2010 and was hosted by Davina McCall, 54, before moving to Channel 5 until 2018, where it was hosted by series two winner Brian Dowling, 43, and later Emma Willis, 46 .
