OK, just to clear up a few little things.

1. YES, it will be live.
2. NO, it's not celebs playing, it's members of the public.
3. BLOODY Neil Fox will be hosting.

Ah well, now we know Neil Fox is presenting this is going to be the worst programme ITV have ever attempted on a Saturday night!

There is much better presenting talent out there than Foxy!

What a let down!

*takes it all back*

Like who?

At least he'll only present the show in a straight fashion and not take it over with his own brand of humour like a lot of today's presenters tend to do. And he can read an autocue which is more than a lot today as well.

Sorry, Foxy should stick to radio.
ITV have created this little pool of so-called celebs and over-use them time and time again.
It was ok seeing Foxy on the original Pop Idol(or was it Pop stars???) and similarly with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Rhona Cameron on Im A Celebrity but then programme after programme they are shoved onto the screen as a big-time celebrity.
Phil Tufnell, Linda Barker, Fran Cosgrove, Joe Pasquale...the list goes on.

ITV are attempting to create and make major celebs out of minor celebs and I feel the general public are seeing through it at last!
