Keith Chegwin has started up a bingo website, according to BreakingNews.ie.

The 49-year-old has had a chequered career, having appeared on Multicoloured Swap Shop with Noel Edmonds before disappearing from TV screens for a number of years as he battled with alcohol.

Chegwin now works on GM:TV, and in 2001 launched a website that showcased his own version of programmes like The Generation Game and This Morning.

Chegwin said of the new venture: “I’ll be popping in and out, broadcasting and hosting extra games and competitions and providing the entertainment.”
