Also present were EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks, who stars as Mick’s current girlfriend Janine Butcher, and Kellie Bright aka his wife Linda Carter.

He will be joined by co-host, comedian Ellie Taylor, for the quiz programme which is due to launch next year.
Danny said of his exciting new role: “Expect enormous wins, loads of slippery people cheating and banter.”
Since opting not to renew his contract with EastEnders, Danny has also signed up to present a travel show with daughter Dani.
The travel programme – set to air on E4 – will see him and his former Love Island star eldest child tour the globe together.
A TV insider said: “Nobody would have predicted this would have been his first move, even though he did say at the time he was keen to ‘try some other stuff’.”
