I'm currently sat in the conservatory, with the telly glued to Channel 4, my laptop, and my iPhone - all tuned to different things to work out how best to write this. But I'm take the step of scrapping everything I had planned to write tonight, and instead, write something I haven't even thought about. The only thing that stays the same is the Dedicatee - DAVINA MCCALL takes today.
Its very difficult to put into words how big Davina has been over the last 10 years. Having grown up with Big Brother since the very tender age of 7, I've seen some weird shit. But the majority of it has been brilliant.
With Big Brother shaping my generation - whether it be good or bad, depending on your opinion - it has created a 'cult', as it were. There are plenty of moments which I'll remember - Glyn's egg, Mario's 'juicy' biscuit, Chantelle and Preston's blossoming relationship, Nikki's 'Who is she?', Nadia's screaming, John McCririck, Jade's race row - the lot. It was just brilliant.
And the one person who has stuck around? Davina. Yes, Big Brother is going tonight, but Davina has been launched onto our screens because of it. We've got so many things we can take away from Big Brother, but honestly, Davina has become a darling of British television. And we've taken her away from the last 10 years. She's not a presenter of the show, she's a fan. And that's all you could ever wish for for something like this.
Ladies and gentlemen, This. Is. Davina.
DAVINA MCCALL, you are the Day Dedicatee for Friday 10th September 2010.
