The classic TV, Blind Date, which was hosted by the late Cilla Black for almost two decades, will soon hit our screens by the end of 2017.
But unlike the original, it will be shown on Channel 5, not ITV.
Blind Date aired back in 2003, and saw hopeful (or hopeless) romantics pick a potential partner by asking them three questions.
The winning couple would then be sent on a holiday to see if sparks would fly!
It was understood that there were many TV host’s in the lineup to replace Cilla in the 2017 series.
