Overview
- In a Truth or Dare TikTok, former housemate Zelah said contestants would say “Davina McCall” to try to stop sensitive remarks from being broadcast.
- He described using the phrase during discussions of subjects such as substance abuse or private family matters.
- Zelah suggested the tactic stemmed from a belief that ITV avoids references to earlier Channel 4/5 eras, noting Davina McCall fronted the Channel 4 run.
- He acknowledged the method was imperfect, saying some conversations still aired after being edited.
- The clip circulated on the Big Brother subreddit, prompting talk about selective editing and live-feed audio cuts; the series wrapped this week with Richard winning £100,000 after 48 days.
