Rylan Clark-Neal has admitted he would love to host ‘Supermarket Sweep’, but he cannot confirm the show is returning.
The former ‘Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’ host would love to front the programme, and while he is still unsure whether the classic game show – which was hosted by Dale Winton to from 1993 to 2001 – is being rebooted, he has confirmed talks have taken place.
When asked on ‘The One Show’ if the programme is making a comeback, he replied:
“I don’t actually know.
“I know there’s been a discussion about it. Of course, I’d love to do it!
“It’s iconic, ‘Supermarket Sweep’.”
Rylan recently joked about the rumours on ‘Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’, and posted a picture on his Twitter account which appeared to feature a flyer showing him as the new host of the show, a new logo, as well as a tease about the rebooted programme.
It read:
“It’s time to go wild in the aisles once more as the classic Supermarket Sweep returns bigger, funnier, and wilder than ever before!”
Rylan could have more free time on his hands after hosting his final edition of ‘Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’ on Monday night (05.11.18) following Channel 5’s decision to axe ‘Big Brother’ and the spin-off.
Afterwards, he wrote on Twitter: “You literally shaped my career and my personal life and I’ll forever be grateful. From day 1 I was a fan, became a housemate, winner, and host and I’ll never find anything like you again. @bbuk . The life I’ve got now is all because of you. Big Brother, I’ll get back to you. X (sic)”
Supermarket Sweep’s former host Dale was found dead from natural causes at his house in North London in April, aged 62.
