BBC Blankety Blank's Bradley Walsh looks annoyed after Lorraine Kelly makes cutting remark

Bradley Walsh appeared annoyed after Lorraine Kelly jokingly suggested Blankety Blank host Les Dawson was the better comic.

Blankety Blank, hosted by Bradley, returned to BBC One in 2021 following a Christmas Special that aired in 2020. Previously, the show was presented by Terry Wogan, Lily Savage and Les Dawson.

Les fronted the comedy game show from 1984 until 1990 and over the years Blankety Blank has been revived by different hosts.

On tonight's programme, Bradley was joined by Lorraine Kelly, Richard Madeley, Suzi Ruffell, Jimmy Carr, Su Pollard and Big Narstie as they helped contestants by filling in the missing blanks.

During the show, Bradley asked the celebrity panel if any of them had previously been on Blankety Blank. Lorraine said: "I was."

Bradley asked: "The original?", to which Lorraine responded: "Les Dawson and he was really, really funny so..."

Bradley turned to the camera, pulling a face as he was aghast by what he heard. However, the insults kept coming as Su Pollard revealed she had been on Blankety Blank when it was hosted by Terry Wogan.

Su said: "[Terry] was fantastic, you've got a long way to go to combine the talents of the two but I'm sure you'll get there."
