Whether you love them or hate them you will be seeing a lot more of 2Day FM duo Kyle and Jackie O as they take over Gretel Killeen's role as the new hosts of Big Brother.

After a dramatic fall in ratings the Ten Network has decided to revamp the series and say goodbye to Killeen, a decision which industry sources say was signed off on last week.

Network Ten are hoping the strength of Kyle and Jackie O's radio show will help draw in an audience.

Former Big Brother housemate Tim Brunero says Killen was faced with some confronting issues as Big Brother's host over the years and always came across professionally.

"She is a sagacious, sophisticated and very witty woman who carried what sometimes was a very emotionally charged and at times controversial show," Brunero said.

Killeen isn’t completely cutting ties with Ten, she is said to be writing a new drama series for the network.

Killeen also has other projects in the works, she recently returned from New York where she met with publishers and is working on a film script.

I think the whole show should be dumped. For the simple reason being TV nowadays has been fed and bamboozled with smut, porn and X-rated broadcasting. At least I agree with John Howard on something when he was interviewed by Ray last year about the show in the wake of the "turkey slapping" incident by succinctly describing it as "stupid". I could think of other descriptions which would be deemed unprintable and breach the code by using coarse language. KP once said to get this rubbish off!

If the crap has to stay on Gretal has run her course, Jackio O is a good choice but I am not sure that bringing Kyle and his smut to the show is a great idea .

I think look out Australia! These two will do a fantastic job at hosting. They are both talanted people regardless of having that "fan base" already . The show is due for a revamp . I love Big Brother, people have there sooks over the show but in reality is its nothing compared to the houses they have overseas. I could only imagine what people would say if BB Australia was as crazy as the overseas shows..honestly there is probably far more filth,lies and corruption in everday politics then BB.
