Celebrity Johnny Vegas made a cheeky confession during the latest episode of Blankety Blank, but host Bradley Walsh seemed unfazed.
As Johnny joined Adjoa Andoh, Martine McCutcheon, Jimmy Carr, Chizzy Akudolu, and Joe Swash on the show, he revealed his intention to steal some chairs from the set.
As Joe and Jimmy complimented the chairs, Johnny claimed he would use them to decorate his garden.
Bradley replied by saying, “Johnny, can I be honest with you Johnny? You do what you like.
They don’t belong to me.”
Blankety Blank is a British comedy game show that first aired in 1979 and is still running today, with Bradley Walsh as the host.
The show was initially hosted by Terry Wogan from 1979 to 1983, followed by Les Dawson from 1984 to 1990.
It was then revived by Paul O’Grady, under his drag alter-ego Lily Savage, on the BBC from December 1997 until December 1999 and then from January 2001 to August 2002.
David Walliams hosted a one-off Christmas Special for ITV in December 2016.
Despite its many hosts, the format of the show has remained consistent over the years.
It features a panel of celebrities who attempt to fill in missing words in a sentence to help a contestant win prizes.
The show has been a staple of British television for over 40 years and has been a launching pad for many British comedians.
Blankety Blank made its comeback with a star-studded episode over the weekend.
The episode was received positively by audiences, who praised Bradley Walsh’s hosting skills.
The show will air again on BBC One next Saturday.
