Iconic show set to return

CLASSIC game show Blankety Blank is returning for a one off special – with David Walliams as host.

ITV has confirmed it will be making a Christmas episode of the show, 14 years after it was last on air.

Blankety Blank was presented by Terry Wogan from 1979 until 1983 and Les Dawson until 1990.

Paul O’Grady and his alter-ego Lily Savage revived the show on the BBC in 1997, before it moved to ITV for a year in 2001.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Walliams, 45, said that he hoped the Christmas special would introduce the show to younger viewers.
