No wonder our very own Simon Cowell has upped sticks and spends most of his time across the Pond these days - £26 million a year for American Idol? Talk about living the American dream!

But just when he could quite easily kick back, relax and enjoy his fortune without doing another day's work in his life, he's back with another great programme idea - a revival of classic dating show Blind Date!

Ooh, I'm very excited about this former high point of Saturday evening British TV making its return. I'm not sure it'll be the same without Cilla, the queen of matchmaking herself, but I have no doubt that I'll be tuning in to check out the revamp.

Everything Mr Nasty touches seems to turn to gold these days - and I'm sure he'll have plenty of unmissable surprises in store.
