Blankety Blank suddenly halted as Bradley Walsh forced to issue apology

Blankety Blank made its highly anticipated return to the with at the helm of the humorous quiz show. After welcoming his celebrity guests Desiree Burch, Joe Pasquale, Paddy McGuiness, Gadiator's Fire, Sandi Toksvig and Roisin Conaty, the long-running game show quickly took an unexpected turn.

Addressing the star-studded line-up, Paddy asked: "I don't often shave my legs but when I do, I'm able to 'blank' much faster." Tasked with filling the gap, the host asked Joe if he's "he shaved his legs," to which the comedian revealed: "I haven't got hair on my body." However, Bradley was forced to quickly intervene as the star began unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his hairless chest.

As Joe continued: "Look, there's nothing there," Bradley abruptly exclaimed: "No!"

The host briefly paused his show to quickly run over to Sandi who was seated next to Joe and cover her eyes with his cue cards while apologising: "I'm so sorry."

Joe joked: "It's like, you know, on that David Attenborough thing, when he sees those little hairless moles."

However, Sandi was hilariously astonished as she admitted: "A really weird thing's happening to me, do it again," prompting the comedian to mimick a hairless mole.

The celebrity guests and studio audience erupted with laughter as Sandi looked at Bradley and admitted: "Honestly, I'm on the turn. It's not right."

Paddy also amused Bradley, as the host also asked him: "I don't often shave my legs, but when I do, I'm able to 'blank' much faster."

As the presenter added: "Paddy, I don't," the Top Gear star looked puzzled by the question before quickly hitting back: "Oh yeah, I know the feeling."
