“I’m really looking forward to it,” said Peasgood. “Bingo is great fun and I can’t wait to get behind that podium and try my hand at calling.”

Paul Tremain, the director of programmes for Gala TV, etv media group, added: “We’re delighted to have Julie join us this week. We had a really great response from the first two ‘Soap Star Bingo’ shows. I’m looking forward to seeing some real onscreen chemistry between Chris and Julie this week.”

Since being launched on June 5, ‘Soap Star Bingo’ has welcomed guest presenters Joe Swash and James Redmond. Swash is well known as Mickey Miller on EastEnders and for winning ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here,’ while Redmond came into the public eye with his roles on Hollyoaks and Casualty.
