Irish TV star Brian Dowling has said he hopes the rebooted Big Brother series will be controversial “in a world where we are very PC”.

The TV presenter, from Co Kildare, rose to fame after winning the second series of the reality show in 2001, and went on to win Ultimate Big Brother in 2010, which launched his career in television.
