Gala Bingo has announced the return of the hugely popular 'Showbiz Bingo' to Gala TV. The show will be making a comeback on the interactive live bingo channel throughout October.

The eagerly awaited celebrity-based show will see leading columnists including the Sunday Mirror's 'Mr Showbiz' Dean Piper and Heat magazine's Lucie Cave revealing all the latest 'hot off the press' news and gossip.

And, as an added treat, former Strictly Come Dancing champion Camilla Dallerup will be joining the Friday evening show, which is broadcast between 8-9pm on Sky and Freesat channel 861 as well as web-streamed on the Gala Bingo website, on Friday October 31st.

Having won the hotly contested BBC show with actor Tom Chambers in 2008, Camilla will be able to give her expert opinion on how she thinks this year's contenders are faring and who she believes can scoop the coveted 2009 title.

Paul Tremain, director of programmes for Gala TV said: "We were overwhelmed by the response to July's 'Showbiz Bingo' that we've decided to bring it back. Adding Camilla to the line-up for a dedicated 'Strictly Showbiz' version of the show is set to be equally popular as Gala TV's chat rooms have been buzzing with conversations about the new series."

'Showbiz Bingo' first appeared on Gala TV in July and follows the channel's previous monthly-themed shows, which include 'Horoscope Bingo', 'Soap Star Bingo', 'Housemate Bingo' and 'Don't you just love Fridays'.

Gala TV awards 200,000 winners a year and gives away approximately £20,000 each night in prize money. Viewers can play a variety of bingo games and side games by simply using their remote control red button or through the webstream on the Gala Bingo website.
