Alison Hammond set to host Hole in the Wall reboot

Hole In The Wall

Wacky short-lived game show Hole in the Wall may soon make a triumphant return to television screens.

Originally broadcast on BBC1, the show first graced the airwaves in 2008 with the late Dale Winton of Supermarket Sweep fame as the host.

In its subsequent series in 2009, Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke took the helm.

Now a brand new version is reportedly on its way, hosted by Alison Hammond.

Hole in the Wall featured celebrities donned in skintight silver suits and helmets, contorting themselves to match shapes in a swiftly approaching wall.

Successful attempts saw them pass through unscathed, while failures resulted in a comedic plunge into a pool of water.

A source told The Sun of the planned revival: “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.”

Contestants over the years included notable figures such as Linda Lusardi, Phil Tufnell, Dennis Taylor, and Neil and Christine Hamilton.

It would be the latest TV show for Alison who currently hosts her own travel show Florida Unpacked for the BBC.

She also resents The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4 and recently took over For The Love Of Dogs on ITV, following the late Paul O’Grady.

The news comes amid a trend of reviving cult classic shows from Big Brother to Gladiators.

But not all have proved as successful, with the BBC’s recent reboot of Survivor reportedly set to be dropped after just one series.
