David, 30, managed to beat off the likes of Coronation Street star Colson Smith, Strictly Come Dancing pro Nikita Kuzmin and This Morning legend Fern Britton to be crowned the champion of the show.

The Ibiza Weekender star is no stranger to reality TV but he is now set to dip his toes into a completely new venture.

Confirming he had landed his own self-titled show on Instagram, David revealed he was making the move into podcasting after his big show win.

The star will be hosting The David Potts Show with the first episode expected to drop next week and continue weekly thereafter.

It marks David's first move into podcasting and his first huge gig since leaving the CBB house.

Writing on Instagram, the star said: "ANNOUNCEMENT. You wanted a podcast…. I got you a podcast.

"I am SO excited to announce I will be starting my very own podcast @thedavidpottsshow, it’s gunna be like day time telly… but I will do what the f*** I want.

"Make sure you’re all following and get ready for Wednesday 17th April when the 1st ep is released. Available on Spotify, Apple Music & every bloody where!

"WHO’S READY TO SLAY."

It is not yet known if the project will feature purely David or if his celeb pals will join him as guests throughout the run.

His CBB co-stars were quick to react as Marisha Wallace wrote: "THE SLAYVID SHOW!"

Colson teased that David would be recording the show next door to his own podcast, On The Sofa, saying: "Studio neighbour."

One of his fans went on to add: "Well done David, look forward to listening."

As someone else penned: "OMGG SLAYY I CANNOT WAIT THIS WILL BE EPIC XX."

David is likely to be over the moon with the huge new gig after previously saying on ITV's Lorraine that he was determined to secure more presenting opportunities.

Last week, David was thrown a surprise homecoming party in Manchester where he reunited with some of his Ibiza Weekender co-stars including Ellie Young, Callum Izzard and Jordan Davies.
