Is Davina McCall’s Career Dead

Davina McCallBBC Radio Two received 156 complaints after Davina McCall took over Ken Bruce’s morning radio show this week.

Listeners criticised Davina’s “inane chatter” and “cringe-worthy” style on the BBC messageboards.

“Davina has a chatty style of presentation and we feel this is in keeping with fellow Radio 2 presenters, such as Chris Evans and Dermot O’Leary,” a BBC statement said.

“The Ken Bruce show reaches a broad audience of over six million listeners.

“While we appreciate that Davina’s style is different to Ken’s, we are also getting a positive reaction from some Radio 2 listeners who are really enjoying the show.”

All this just proves what I have been thinking for the last year. Without Big Brother, Davina is nothing. Every other show she has turned her hand to, (remember her awful chat show and then the one with the boring dads to be) flopped in the ratings and now it seems she isn’t much cop at radio either.

Big Brother shouldn’t have another year left in it, but even if Channel 4 do trail it out for two or three more series, what will Davina do after that? I hope she has been saving hard as things are looking bleak for the future of Ms McCall!
