Davina McCall says television is 'not good' for children
12 April 2012

Big Brother host Davina McCall says she feels bad about allowing her children to watch TV.

The presenter believes that television affects their behaviour and is "not good" for them. McCall has three children - Holly, aged eight, Tilly, six, and Chester, three.

The 42-year-old told Psychologies magazine: "I only let them watch 15 minutes in the morning and an hour after dinner. If I'm honest, I feel bad about that hour. It's not good for kids to watch telly."

The star was also asked how she would feel if one of her children wanted to audition for a reality TV show when they were older.

"I'd ask them where they thought it would take them. I couldn't tell them not to do it," she said.

The full interview appears in the February issue of Psychologies.
