'Flintoff absolutely class too. Get it sorted ASAP please ITV.'. Viewers have demanded that a full series of Bullseye is commissioned following Freddie Flintoff's Christmas special. The former cricketer, 47, took on hosting duties for the one-off reboot of the classic 1980s game show and it became ITV's most-watched programme of the weekend.

Another said: 'Loved the Bullseye reboot. Freddie Flintoff is a great presenter and as handsome as ever.'. The format of the show sees one amateur darts player and a trivia expert go head-to-head against another team to win prizes. It first aired on 1981 and the late Jim Bowen presented it throughout its original run until 1995.

Dave Spikey stepped into his shoes when it returned to screens for a single run of episodes in 2006, but that was the last time anything new was produced. Darts champion Luke Littler made a very special guest appearance for the one-off Christmas special.
