X-Factor host Dermot O’Leary has spoken out against the casting process on Big Brother. Dermot presented the spin-off show, Big Brother’s Little Brother, for seven years.
The 43-year-old admitted to The Sun that although he still enjoys watching the show, he thinks that they’ve run out of original contestants for the programme and are simply casting reality tv professionals.
“It’s kind of weird really. I still enjoy it. The casting process is kind of odd now. There’s a group of people who tend to do those.
“When we first started it, especially for the first few, before it went quite dark, we all really enjoyed it.
“But now I think the world has changed so much, the people who are on it are almost all people who have been on other shows. That said, I still think it ticks the same box it always has,” he said.
