Cilla Black is set to return to TV screens with new dating show 'Loveland'.
The 65-year-old personality - who hosted TV dating show 'Blind Date' from 1985 to 2003 - will present the new series on Sky One, where contestants will be hidden behind animated characters.
Speaking about her decision to front the 10-part series, Cilla said: "I am captivated by the show's modern-day twist on the dating format, which brings something new and exciting to the genre."
Richard Woolfe, the director of programming for Sky One, added:
Richard Woolfe, the director of programming for Sky One, added: "Cilla is the undisputed queen of the dating show. There's been many pretenders to her throne, but she remains in a class of her own.
"I'm thrilled she shares my passion for Loveland and for bringing the dating show kicking and screaming into the 21st Century."
The show will see contestants who are looking for love 'interview' potential candidates who will be concealed behind a real-life 'Avatar' - a lifelike cartoon.
The show's producer said: "Who knows what's lurking behind the cartoon. Will they pick a real-life Jessica Rabbit or will they choose something more akin to the infamous Tasmanian Devil?"
