'The world is David's Lovster, he's hilarious

David Potts might be best known for his reality TV stints, but the Celebrity Big Brother favourite has also set his sights on a brand new career.

The 30-year-old first rose to fame on Ibiza Weekender in 2016 and later its successor Kavos Weekender - which follows contestants in their twenties as they spend time at a Greek hotel resort.

But the star has been thriving on CBB and forming friendships with the likes of Louis Walsh, Strictly pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin, and former Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu.

In fact, before even heading into the house, David admitted to being a "natural born leader" and compared himself to Mufasa from The Lion King. He later enthusiastically added that he's "large, in charge, taking over, and ready for it".

Now, according to a source, as David emerges as a clear favourite with the public, he could be set for further stardom once he emerges from the CBB house.

"Before he went on Celebrity Big Brother, David was in talks to have his own show and other presenting opportunities. He previously presented the spin-off show for the ITV2 reality show The Cabins and it went down so well," the source said. "While he'll definitely do more reality shows, as that's where he's made his name, his ultimate goal is presenting."
