Ex-EastEnder
and Strictly Come Dancing star, Chris Parker, will be joining
Gala TV from Friday, 5 June 2009.
During
his first month, Chris who is best known for his role alongside
Shane Richie as Spencer Moon in EastEnders, will launch 'Soap
Star Bingo' - an exclusive new show on the popular live bingo
channel.
Each
week a different soap star will join Chris on the Friday evening
show, which will be broadcast throughout June between 8-9pm on
Sky and Freesat channel 861 as well as webstreamed on the Gala
Bingo website.
During
the unique live studio-based show that offers a high level of
viewer interaction, players will get the chance to find out a
bit more about the stars by emailing and texting in their questions.
The hour-long show will also feature a special 'soap-themed' bingo
game that will be called each week by Chris' surprise guest.
"I
love bingo and live television so I'm really looking forward to
becoming part of the whole Gala
TV community and interacting with the players," said
Chris. "I have enjoyed presenting on shows such as This Morning,
MTV, CD:UK and my live movie show in LA. I am currently presenting
E24 for BBC News but Gala TV is a very different ball game (quite
literally)"
Paul
Tremain, director of programmes for Gala TV, said: "We're
delighted to be welcoming Chris to the team. He is a true professional
with bags of enthusiasm. I know he'll be a real hit with our viewers."
