Ex-Big Brother boss Phil Edgar Jones, whose other TV credits include The Salon, Space Cadets and Shattered, has been given the task of finding the hit format. "We have Phil Edgar Jones who is the master of cruelty," Murphy told the Edinburgh TV Festival. "He worked with Endemol and Big Brother.

Ultimate Big Brother winner Brian Dowling has admitted that he would be interested in fronting Bb, if it moves to Channel Five.
The 32 year old has previously presented Smtv Live, ITV’s Brian’s Boyfriends, as well as narrating the Channel 4 reality show The Salon. In a chat with The Sun he revealed that he is keen to get back to TV work and said:
“Vernon Kay asked me why I’m not on TV the other day and I just don’t know. I hope it happens.”
When asked about rumours that Five wanted him to front Bb next year, he added:
“I’d be a d**k to say ‘No’. But by the time it comes back, people might say, ‘Brian who?’”
Five is thought to be in talks with Endemol about buying the reality TV show format and the Total Big Brother fansite recently discovered that...

Brian Dowling has become not only the winner of Ultimate Big brother, but the final Bb champion ever! (Well unless Channel Five buy it and run the format into the ground….)
With 49.21% of the current vote total Brian was the viewers chosen one and left the house to join the crowds and the queen of Big Brother, Davina McCall.
The Irish star first won the reality TV show in 2001. He went on to present children’s tv show Smtv Live, ITV’s Brian’s Boyfriends, as well as narrating the Channel 4 reality show The Salon.
He will be remembered for… his catchphrases ‘Oh, no you didn’t’ and ‘hold me Bubble’, being reunited with old housemates for his dancing task, for telling Big Brother that being in the house has defined his life and has been like therapy, for stubbing his toe and throwing up milk at the same...

Brian Dowling re-entered the Big brother house tonight.
The 32 year old Irish star won the second series of the Channel 4 reality TV show in 2001. He beat Helen Adams in the final and polled 4,231,660 votes (58%) out of a total 7,255,094.
Brian went on to become a television presenter. He has presented Smtv Live, his own show on ITV, Brian’s Boyfriends, as well as narrating the Channel 4 reality show The Salon. He participated in Irish reality television series, Fáilte Towers, in August 2008.
On his original Bb experience Brian said:
“I do remember laughing a lot.”
And on who he wouldn’t want to be cooped up with he added:
“Nick Bateman. he said I looked like Eamon Holmes recently!”
As Brian faced the crowd tonight, he shouted:
“Why am I doing this again?”
And on seeing Nadia Almada already there he laughed:
“I knew you’d be here, I can’t get rid of you!
