<\/p>\n
Comedian Jack Dee opened up about the issues he thinks the Big Brother reboot will suffer from ahead of the reality show\u2019s return to ITV2 last night.<\/p>\n
The 61-year-old BBC radio star, who recently toured his brand-new show titled Jack Dee: Off The Telly around Europe, won the very first celebrity version of the show back in 2001.<\/p>\n
The I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue host beat out the likes of Claire Sweeney, Vanessa Feltz and Chris Eubank for the top spot, charming viewers with his sense of humour. <\/span><\/p>\n However, he explained why he wasn\u2019t feeling particularly positive about the show making a comeback in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI mean they keep bringing it back, don\u2019t they?\u201d he reflected. \u201cI think it\u2019s always sort of diminishing returns with programmes like that. <\/span><\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong> Jack Dee lifts lid on reason his teachers ‘absolutely hated’ him at school<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI think the mistake that they always make is that they overproduce it now; they contrive it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey kind of overthink it and get one kind of person so then they\u2019ll deliberately also get in someone who will antagonise that person and won\u2019t get on with them\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRather than getting a random group and just seeing what happens, which actually I think ends up being much more interesting. <\/span><\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

It was just a good bit of entertaining telly and really well-presented and well-produced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The new series of Big Brother kicked off with a bang on ITV2 yesterday, as the show welcomed in sixteen housemates who will now battle it out over the next six weeks in a bid to win \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n Jack Dee performed at Henley Festival on Sunday 9 July.
