'Celebrity Squares' plans halted?

Channel 4's plans to bring back Celebrity Squares are running into difficulties, as the network cannot find a host for the show.

Both Peter Kay and Johnny Vegas have turned down offers to present the series, forcing Channel 4 to concentrate on bringing Celebrity Family Fortunes to our screens, according to The Mirror.

Celebrity Family Fortunes producers originally wanted Dame Edna Everage to host the new version of the show.

However, in January this year, a source revealed, "The problem is that Dame Edna's Broadway show, Back With A Vengeance, has done really well and its run has been extended until June.

"She'd agreed to do Celebrity Family Fortunes in principle, so bosses now have to decide whether to wait for her or get someone else."
