Cilla Black is BACK!!!
We're bringing this news to you after having planned a Friday night in with YouTube and some old Blind Date clips...
The Liverpool lady is bringing Blind Date back to ITV, for a special one-off reuniting some of the show's most memorable contestants.
The dating show was a staple of ITV's Saturday nights for nearly 20 years and it will be brought back to the box as part of a programme celebrating her 50 years in showbiz this autumn, The Sun reports.
Do you remember this? Blind Date's intro at the beginning of the noughties...
The One And Only Cilla Black will be hosted by Paul O'Grady and will see the singer return to her home of Liverpool for a trip down memory lane.
Friends Barbara Windsor and Christopher Biggins will feature on the show, but the piéce de résistance will be Black's trip back to Blind Date.
Cilla will chat to some of the show's most unforgettable characters (please bring back Bernard McHugh from Donegal) and the singletons will get to compete for a blind date again.
Flashback... Blind Date's intro in 1985.
An insider said: “Blind Date was renowned for some of its ‘out there’ contestants. It will be great to see what some of the most memorable ones are up to now.
“And for those who are still single, Cilla will play the dating game one more time. Who knows, this time they might actually find love!
A little bit of trivia for you? Britain's Got Talent host Amanda Holden is an ex-contestant of the show. She went for a blind date in 1990!
