Future of smash-hit game show presented by daytime TV legend revealed after 20 series on air
BLANKETY Blank has been renewed for two more series, with Bradley Walsh returning as host.
The panel show features celebrities and contestants competing in multiple rounds to win a range of unique prizes.
The new series will have 10 episodes each and will see Bradley will be joined by six big name celebrities.
Some of the celebrities appearing on the next series will be Dame Kelly Holmes, Rob Beckett, Judi Love, Jack Dee, Omid Djalili, Joe Swash, Jordan Banjo and Su Pollard.
The contestants just need to fill in the blanks.
And if their answer matches those of the celebrities’, they are in with a chance of taking home the goods.
These prizes can vary anywhere from an inflatable hot tub to a garden shed.
For those not lucky enough to make it all the way, there is the iconic consolation prize, the Blankety Blank cheque book and pen.
The news of the recommission comes after the third series of Blankety Blank was a huge success.
It was watched by audiences of up to 4.1m viewers, and was regularly the most watched show in its time slot.
The third series of Blankety Blank included big guest names such as Alison Hammond, Babatunde Aleshe, Rob Beckett, Sue Perkins and Rylan Clark.
Since its debut in 1979, Blankety Blank has remained a staple in TV schedules, with the revamped series attracting new audiences to the beloved format.
Speaking on the recommission, Bradley said: “I tell you what, there isn’t a show quite like Blankety Blank – it’s absolutely brilliant fun from start to finish.
“The celebrities will come up to me after a record and tell me how much fun they had filming, but more importantly, so do the contestants.
“These wonderful people come on to the show wanting a great experience and boy do they get it – because let’s be honest, they’re not there for the prizes are they?!”
Blankety Blank series three is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
