MTV wants our Brian...

Big Brother winner Brian Dowling was last night in talks with music video channel MTV which could lead to a job as a £100,000 a year presenter. Irish Presenters Danann Breathnach and Emma Ledden already have major roles at the station.

The star of the Channel 4 show, who landed 70,000 prize when he won the public vote, could land a big money deal to introduce videos for the station.

Davina McCall is among the figures who have started their path to broadcasting success at the station - she is now one of the most in-demand presenters on TV.

MTV confirmed that it would like to recruit the gay air steward, who captivated viewers with his caustic wit.

He also showed himself to be a pop fan by singing and dancing during his time in the house. An MTV spokesman said: "We are in talks with his people. We think he's great, but as to whether something will happen, who knows? We want to get him in for a screen test."

MTV has put in a bid to create a show to replace Channel 4's Big Breakfast, but it is understood that Dowling is being considered for a general presenting role rather than the proposed new show.

He is, however, thought to be in the running for a presenting job on another projected Big Breakfast replacement being put together by the creators of Big Brother.

Helen Adams, runner-up in this year's Big Brother, is in discussions over a role on a new lifestyle programme being presented by Lorraine Kelly for Sky One.
