BBC One Show Blankety Blank has been recommissioned for another two seasons after its highly successful third series.
The two new seasons, each with 10 episodes, will be hosted once again by one of the nation's most beloved presenters, Bradley Walsh.
Bradley will be joined by six celebs for each instalment, who will be helping four contestants try to win some of telly's most 'unique' prizes.
All that stands in the way is a series of statements with missing BLANKS which contestants have to fill out, the Mirror reports.
If their answer matches those of the celebrities, they’re in with a chance of taking home the goods, which can vary anywhere from an inflatable hot tub to a garden shed.
However, for those not fortunate enough to make it all the way, there is the iconic consolation prize - the Blankety Blank chequebook and pen.
With viewing figures of up to 4.1m, Blankety Blank is regularly the most watched show in its time slot and can expect big guest names such as Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark, Sue Perkins, Rob Beckett and Babatunde Aleshe in its next season.
Fans can expect to see more well-known stars take to the panel and more hilarious responses to seemingly simple missing BLANKS.
The BBC One show initially launched back in 1979 but continues to be a staple in the schedules with the revamped series bringing in brand-new audiences to the much-loved format.
Speaking on the recommission, Bradley: “I tell you what, there isn’t a show quite like Blankety Blank – it’s absolutely brilliant fun from start to finish.
"The celebrities will come up to me after a record and tell me how much fun they had filming, but more importantly, so do the contestants.
