HOLE IN THE WALL: BBC PILOT REBOOT OF HIT GAMESHOW WITH ALISON HAMMOND AS HOST

Following rumours last year, The Sun newspaper now report that the BBC are currently piloting a reboot of iconic gameshow Hole In The Wall, with This Morning's Alison Hammond as host.

Hole In The Wall saw two teams of celebrities try to force themselves through crazy-shaped holes in giant moving walls. The show only ran for two series on BBC One Saturday nights, first hosted by Dale Winton and later Anton Du Beke.

A source told The Sun: "Hole In The Wall got great ratings when it first came out so the Beeb have decided to bring it back. They are currently filming the pilot to see how it shapes up. They wanted to sign Alison and she jumped at the chance to do it...

"She’s one of TV’s most in demand stars right now and the Beeb is over the moon that they’ve signed her. Alison adores her job and is always on the lookout for shows where she can have a real laugh -that’s why she loves presenting Bake Off and This Morning. They are light-hearted and fun."

More details will be revealed in due course.
