OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett wants his own Saturday night talk show.
The 35-year-old star admitted presenting ‘The Masked Singer’ has been a dream come true, so he’s unsure what he’d like to do in the future but loves the idea of following in the footsteps of one of the show’s judges, Jonathan Ross, and interviewing big-name guests.
Asked about his future ambitions, he said: “It’s a difficult question. ‘The Masked Singer’ has given me my dream – a Saturday night TV show that I enjoy, working with people who inspire me. Then being able to tour for people who are buying tickets to your comedy shows.
“Having reached that dream, it’s difficult to set new ones. But I think it’s following in Jonathan’s footsteps and getting to talk to people and be funny.”
Joel is desperate to be “best friends” with Jonathan, but admitted he texts him “too much” in his bid to strengthen their bond.
He said: “Presenting a show in front of two of the biggest presenters on UK television is huge for me, and both Jonathan and Davina [McCall] have been so welcoming and encouraging.
“Davina has become a sort of TV older sister. She’s wonderful. And it’s my life’s work to try to be best friends with Jonathan Ross. I feel like I’m slowly wearing him down. I constantly WhatsApp him, a bit too much, but I’m trying to kill him with kindness.”
And it isn’t just the judges on the show that the former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant is able to reach out to when he wants advice.
He told OK! magazine: “I’m still learning, and having someone like Davina to call if I want to ask anything, or need advice, is so nice. Other people have reached out too.
“Dermot O’Leary was wonderful. He said, ‘If you ever need to talk about anything, let me know.’ It’s nice that these elders of the business, who have been doing it for a long time, are just lovely and know we’re not trying to step on anyone’s toes, we’re just the newbies. I’m learning all I can from them – they’ve paved the way.”
