Beloved nineties presenting duo reunite for the first time in five years for groundbreaking new game show in huge win for fans

A beloved nineties presenting duo have reunited for the first time in five years for a groundbreaking new game show. 

In a huge win for fans, comics Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins are set to front Win Win with People’s Postcode Lottery. 

In the new series both contestants in the studio and viewers at home will have the chance to win the £1million prize pot. 

The synopsis states it’s ‘the most interactive quiz show ever aired in the UK, as viewers playing from the comfort of their sofas get the chance to win the same truly amazing prizes as the contestants playing in studio.’ 

Airing on ITV on Saturday evenings, Win Win will run for six weeks starting later this year. 

Mel said: ‘This quiz is so extra! Imagine winning something like a car just by playing along with a gameshow you’re watching on a Saturday night in your pyjamas? I can’t wait!’

Sue added: ‘If I wasn’t hosting this, I’d be playing it at home; sat in my leopard print onesie, cuddling the dog whilst trying to figure out The Nation’s favourite chocolate bar. Bring it on!’ 

The duo, known for starring together on The Great British Bake Off from 2010 to 2016, most recently worked together on their Sky One sitcom Hitmen. 

In January, The Masked Singer fans and judges were left in shock when Mel was unveiled as Teeth.

After going up against Bear in the nail-biting sing-off, judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan  and Maya Jama opted to vote out Teeth, with all of them none-the-wiser as to who was behind the mask.

So it came as a great surprise when the character finally took off their costume head and revealed themselves to be none other than Mel.

The actress, comedian and presenter delighted following the reveal, telling the panel: ‘I’ll take Su Pollard! It’s so nice to see you guys. I love these teeth so much! 

‘I was very pleased with Alex Scott. Such a fun show, it’s impossible not to have fun on this show!’

The reveal comes after viewers complained that the clues during the game were ‘impossible’ as they struggled to work out who was hiding in the costumes.

Mel’s appearance left the panel open-mouthed in shock after they failed to mention her name at all throughout the series.

Other guesses for the star – who changed her voice throughout – included sports commentator Alex Scott, comedian Su Pollard and radio host Ferne Cotton. 

Viewers watching at home also found it difficult to identify Mel, with many blaming the tough clues which featured one referring to Australian soap Neighbours which is filmed in Melbourne – an apparent link to Mel’s name.

Speaking about how she felt to be leaving the show, Mel told host Joel Dommett: ‘I feel really elated actually. I blooming loved it. I’m sad because my next song was Pointer Sisters, ‘Automatic’ done as Marlene Dietrich. That would have been fun.’ 

She went on to add of her unveiling: ‘I just feel it’s a win-win. I didn’t think I’d get this far, I think I’ve got over half way which is great! It’s been so fun.’
