Looks like ITV are looking to re-boot the classic gameshow Celebrity Squares - just the one date listed at present so I'm guessing it's a pilot - remember months back they did a Play Your Cards Right pilot with Vernon Kay - never to be heard of again !

Probably Keith Lemon, Philip Scofield or Holly Willobooby. :rolleyes:
I am going to say this ... what is up with ITV and "revivals" fair enough "nostalgia" but come on .... get some originality here ... whats next bring back the "$64,000 Question" with someone from TOWIE next :rolleyes:
Pat Coombes = Kerry Katona
Willy Rushton = Peter Andre
Frank Carson = Joe Swash ..............
ITV using all the same deadbeats that already turn up all over ITV!
Urgh, no thanks.
I'll hear someone will say on forum "catchphrase" has been a hit (being honest on that I have briefly caught it and don't like it - especially since it was a 30 min show now been dragged out for 45-60 mins and its STV that now "produce" it)
Come to think about it is their really any decent celebs out there at moment?? Probably be seeing the likes of TOWIE on these shows .... didn't take ITV long to stick Joey Essex on The Cube did it??
The end game also had nothing to do with the celebs with the contestant having to name 9 things..maybe Blankety Blank would have been a better option? lol
Maybe you've answered your own question with Vernon Kay?:D
Or Paddy McGuiness.
Ant and Dec
Philip Schofield
Keith Lemon
I don't think it's likely we'll be in for many surprises.
But if I had to pick a preference from ITV faces I'd go for Bradley Walsh. It sounds like the sort of thing which would be right up his street. I think you'd need the type of quick wit and banter he's capable of.
I don't think that many of the usual ITV suspects would be able to do what's needed without scripted lines and routines.
I can see them picking either Keith Lemon or Paddy McGuiness though.
Having said that if the guest list of celebrities are of TOWIE calibre then they might even make do with Joe Swash. He'd be in his element.
Lorraine Chase = Stacy Solomon.
Joe Swash, Mark Wright, Natalie Cassidy, Jeremy Kyle, Amy Childs, David Dickinson, Joey Essex......I'm sorry I can't even go on.
Think of any the possible different permutations and it's all bad.
It'd be like one of those horrible hangover dreams you have just before you wake up in the morning after drinking the night before. It doesn't bear thinking about.
If they are signed up to do a possible series, they cannot do Strictly.
It will be a tall order for him.
The Guess List starting tonight on BBC1 is essentially a Blankety Blank reboot.
Are you sure? I thought they were joking.
It wasn't a joke?
That would be an amazing casting decision by ITV I must say. I don't mean by however good or bad he would be as the host, but it's just so surprising that ITV would go for such a leftfield choice outside of their usual safety net of the same old faces.
I have to have respect for them and give them credit where it's due for that, if not for anything else.
