BACK TOGETHER AT LAST

Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley will reunite for the first time in five years for new BBC show

The former One Show co-hosts will front a new series about the nature of friendship

ONE of Britain’s best duos are finally back together — and no, I don’t mean SAME DIFFERENCE.

I’m pleased to reveal that ADRIAN CHILES and CHRISTINE BLEAKLEY are reuniting for a TV show for the first time since ITV’s Daybreak in 2011.

 Adrian and Christine have a long history of presenting together but it seemed to be cut off when they were cut from ITV's Daybreak in 2011

The pair, who started out on BBC’s The One Show, parted ways five years ago when they were both axed from the breakfast programme.

But they will be together once again for a new series about the nature of friendship.

I’m told the three-part show, which is being made by BBC Northern Ireland, is in the early stages of development but is likely to air across the UK if it is a success.

 Adrian and Christine also presented The One Show together from 2007-2010, but were both sacked

A Beeb spokesman confirmed: “We’re pleased to confirm that Adrian and Christine have agreed to join forces again for a new BBC Northern Ireland production.

“While we can’t say much about this project at the moment, we’re obviously excited to have both on board.”

 Since the end of their time on Daybreak the pair have been busy - Adrian presented World Cup coverage on ITV in 2014

Christine and Adrian are two of the nicest and most talented TV hosts in the business.

It’s about time they returned.
