Gabby Logan to host darts show for Comic Relief


Gabby Logan will host a TV show on a pro-celebrity darts tournament for Comic Relief.

‘Let’s Play Darts For Comic Relief’ will see darts-loving celebrities join forces with professionals as they adopt their own persona, complete with nickname, costume, props and the all important walk on music.

Pinki Chambers, BBC Commissioning Editor, said: "We’re delighted to be hosting ‘Let’s Play Darts For Comic Relief’ on BBC Two. Make no mistake; this is a highly competitive tournament which will be full of jeopardy and sporting triumphs. Expect some laughs along the way too."

Peter Holmes, joint Managing Director at Zeppotron, added: "’Let’s Play Darts For Comic Relief’ will be a unique, funny and genuinely competitive sporting event. The sport of darts is known for its larger-than-life characters, dramatic entrances and incredible atmosphere. This show will mix all these qualities with a large helping of laughter."

BBC Two has commissioned the entertainment series for Red Nose Day 2015.

The star-studded event will be filmed at Lakeside Frimley Green – the home of world darts – for a winner-takes-all, knockout tournament.
