The former JLS singer has been banned from taking part in the reality TV show by his close friend Emma Willis - who presents the series on Channel 5 - because she's worried people would "eat him alive" and she feels very "protective" of him.

She explained: "Marv can't go in the 'Celeb Big Brother' house because he's Marv. I wouldn't want them to eat him alive and I would be protective!"

The 40-year-old presenter is devastated Marvin won't be joining her to host 'The Voice', who she worked with last year on the singing show, this year following its move to ITV and has admitted she "desperately" misses her former co-host.

She told the Digital Spy: "We hung out together, so I miss having him and his team because we're all mates and we hang out, but we never filmed together at this point in the show anyway. But when we started doing the battles, I really missed him, and when we go live I will desperately miss him."

And while the pair won't be presenting the forthcoming series together, the brunette beauty has already sent the radio DJ a string of messages.

She said: "I've literally just sent him a message. It is weird. I don't think he's missing it though - he's in the Maldives! I think I've sent them three messages now going, 'Stop putting these pictures up on Instagram, you're making me feel sick!' But I just sent him a message actually, saying, 'I miss you today'."

And with the star now having the full-time presenting responsibility to herself, she revealed she is yet to receive a pay rise.

She added: "I thought I'd inherit Marv's fee but I haven't - perhaps he's still getting it?"
