Further details
Anne Robinson comments: "I'm thrilled to be doing the show again and am indebted to the Chuckle Brothers for explaining how it works. I never got the hang of it last time.?"
Lesley Joseph says: "I was delighted to be asked to take part in the Blankety Blank Christmas Special as it's an iconic TV programme that I have watched many times over the years. I am thrilled to be working with David Walliams and am very excited to be part of ITV's Christmas line up."
Louis Walsh added: "I am really excited to be taking part in Blankety Blank after 14 years off air. The worst case scenario is that contestants leave with just a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen and let's be honest who wouldn't want one of those!"
