He wants to do it, because his career is in the Toilet because of his scandal, but he so desprate for a new show he doesn't realise he completely the wrong type of person to host this show.. Challenge reboot treated it like a joke, with no respect and Dave Spikey was dreadful.

You need a host with a sarcastic dourface tone, who treats the show like a god, and have decent prizes like white goods on the broad. I believe ITV or whoever made it has since up..ed they game in new series.

Could Bradley Walsh get it instead? Why not bring back play your cards right with Ant n dec..

According to the Daily Star, 43-year-old Vernon is in the running for presenting the show after previously hosting a one-off special for ITV in 2007. Now, after disappearing off our screens following the Rhian Sugden sexting scandal in 2016, he apparently believes that bringing back Bullseye could be the reboot his career needs.

An insider told the paper: “He’s desperate for a comeback and Vern thinks that Bullseye could be that opportunity.”

Reportedly, Channel 5 are wanting to bring back the show as part of a series of revitalised telly faves – with Paul O’Grady’s relaunch of Blind Date leading the way.

Bullseye was a darts-based television show hosted by Jim Bowen from 1981 to 1995. Since then it has had several one-offs including one in 2006, and again in 2007.

Meanwhile, Vernon has disappeared after a series of revelations came to light about him sexting Page 3 model, Rhian Sugden.

Vernon's marriage to Strictly presenter Tess Daly was first put to the test six years ago when he was found to have been 'sexting' Rhian, 31 behind his wife's back.

The crisis blew up again in 2016 when Vernon was caught sending more messages to the model - even reportedly asking her to meet up.

Tess has now revealed they are still working on their marriage.

In an interview with The Times, she said: "All marriages have their moments.

"Marriage is a work in progress. Vernon and I are just people, at the end of the day."

In 2010 it emerged that Vernon had been sending the model sexually explicit messages despite being married to Tess Daly, and last year he was caught trying to meet up with Rhian again.

I thought Dave Spikey was ok, the reboot was ruined by contestants who were in the darts player role but were crap at darts.

And a bullseye on the Category Board was actually worth *less* than it was in the Bowen years... Confused

Hasn't Vernon Kay denied this multiple times on Twitter?

EDIT:

This entire thread seems to be based on a one line quote from an “insider” in the Daily Star!

That doesn't mean Channel 5 hasn't been looking around. Certain rivals are good while some have been downright awful.

May have been a sweeping statement. But vernon is still the wrong type of person for bullseye.
