ITV is reportedly already planning a celebrity version of Bullseye ahead of the classic gameshow's return this Christmas.

The show - originally hosted by the late Jim Bowen - combines amateur darts with quiz questions and was a staple of the broadcaster's schedules between 1981 and 1995.

Earlier this year ITV announced a reboot of the format for a one-off special, with Freddie Flintoff as host and teen darts sensation Luke Littler joining as a special guest.

Even though the programme has yet to air, The Sun says that plans are being drawn up for a celeb edition, with actress Emily Atack and comedian Peter Kay among those on the wishlist.

"ITV would be crazy not to ride the wave of nostalgia that comes with bringing back a much-loved show like Bullseye," a source told the newspaper. "A celebrity version is a no-brainer.

"They want to target the right kinds of celebrities - people like Emily who viewers can imagine joining them down the pub for a pint, a game of darts and a good laugh. Peter is also a fan of the show and though he doesn't take part in many telly programmes these days, they reckon he might make an exception.

"What happens next depends on the reaction to the festive special, but it's already looking like the comeback will be a big hit."

The Bullseye special is due to air on ITV1 over the Christmas period. body check tags ::
