In possibly the most exciting news of the year so far, Blind Date is coming back on to our TV screens.

O.M.G

Can you believe it's not been around for over 13 years?

Cilla Black won't be returning as she sadly died in 2015, but there are replacement hosts rumoured already.

According to The Sun, former Geordie Shore star and Queen of the Jungle Vicky Pattison is looking likely to replace the legendary Cilla Black, alongside Olly Murs, Georgia May Foote, and Helen Flanagan.

In case you need a little refresher, Blind Date sees three singletons grilled by a member of the opposite sex in order to find the perfect match without being able to see them.

The couple then pick an envelope with their holiday destination inside.

It is said that the new show will appeal to "a new generation of viewers" and while some of the "traditions of the past" will be kept, it will be updated for modern times.

So when will it be returning?

Well, there's no exact date been given yet but it looks like it'll be on our screens by the end of this year.

There will be one big change, however, as it will be shown on Channel 5 rather than ITV.

It looks like there will be six or eight episodes for the first run of the show - which will air on a Friday night rather than its traditional Saturday slot.

We can't wait for more updates over the next few months.

Now, first things first, where can we sign up?
