Chris Evans is said to be coming out of his TV retirement to present ‘Don’t Present The Lyrics’ on Sky One.

Last night a source told The Sun: “We have nearly got Chris on board. We hope he’s going to bring his famous anarchic spirit to the show.”

The lyrics based show is a massive hit in America at the moment and Sky hope to enjoy the same success in the UK.

A Sky insider said: “Everyone thinks they know the lyrics to the world’s most popular songs. But when there’s cash at stake, will our wannabes keep singing, or be lost for words?”

Sky boss Richard Woolfe told TV Biz: “The British public are fanatical about karaoke and game shows.

“So Don’t Forget The Lyrics! is the perfect show for Sky One and is bound to mirror its success in the US when it launches here next year.”
