Shane Richie has revealed that he would consider returning to BBC soap, Eastenders if the storyline was right.

Sky One today announced that ex-Eastenders actor Shane Richie as the host of new gameshow sensation DON’T FORGET THE LYRICS.

Richie, soon to be seen in the new series of Skins, will present the 12-part series where contestants attempt to win £250,000 by singing the missing lyrics from 10 songs.

Shane commented: “I managed to see the show when I was in the US with my family over the summer and was immediately addicted. It’s a fantastic format, so I was really excited to be able to bring the show to a UK audience. I’ve been concentrating on my acting lately and have some fantastic TV dramas lined up. Whilst I’ve turned other entertainment projects down, this opportunity was too much fun to pass up and I cannot wait to get in front of a live studio audience again.” Read more & comment »
