The 47-year-old carved a TV career for herself following her stint on the show back in 2002.
But despite speculation she won't be the next Big Brother presenter.
“Loads of people have been saying that, but no, it’s not true, and you know if I knew now I would have been stuttering," she said.
Speaking to Jessie Ware on her podcast Table Manners, Alison branded the show as "addictive watching".
“When you turn on Big Brother, it’s very difficult to turn it off," she said.
The Sun revealed earlier this year how ITV would be reviving Big Brother in 2023 - five years after it ended on Channel 5.
The broadcaster confirmed the show would be making a sensational comeback in August, with applications now open for future housemates.
Emma Willis - who presented Big Brother on Channel 5 - has ruled out a return to the programme.
AJ Odudu is in final talks to become the next host as the TV star has agreed to take the role and ITV are finalising her contract.
It is a major promotion for AJ, 34, who previously co-presented Big Brother spin-off show, Bit On The Side, in 2013.
A source said: “AJ has been offered the Big Brother job and jumped at the opportunity. It’s a huge boost to her career.
“AJ and ITV are still ironing out details in her contract but she has told a lot of people the job is hers.”
Big Brother will be going back to basics when the revamped format returns in Autumn next year, just like the first Channel 4 series in 2000.
