You'll all probably know that Cilla announced she'd be leaving Blind Date at the end of this series. Some VERY interesting names have been mentioned as her replacement

Trisha favourite to step into Cilla's shoes
William Hill have installed chat show host Trisha as 3/1 favourite to succeed Cilla Black as the presenter of Blind Date.
Following Cilla's shock decision to step down, Hills say they have been inundated with punters wishing to bet on her successor.
They make
Davina McCall 4/1 second favourite and also offer 8/1 on Ant & Dec, 10/1
Brian Dowling, 14/1 Paul O'Grady, and 16/1Cat Deeley, Graham Norton, and Dale Winton.
Also in the running are Ulrika Johnson at 25/1, Carole Smillie, Jerry Springer and Clare Sweeney (all at 33/1), and Lorraine Kelly, Melanie Sykes and Carol Vorderman (all 50/1).
Outsiders include Angus Deayton, Lulu, Des O'Connor and Tara Palmer Tomkinson who are all priced at 100/1.

I think Davina would be excellent - she's plenty of experience at putting people at their ease and has a good rapport with the public.
Brian! Hadn't thought about him . . . . . . but why not?
