Many will be thrilled to hear that Cilla is due back on British television before the end of 2004. She has signed to do a 2-hour Christmas Special CILLA LIVE for digital channel LIVINGtv.

Inspired to take on this latest venture by her close friend Sir Cliff Richard, Cilla will make her return on the 19 Dec 2004 in what will be the biggest LIVE event of the channel’s history!

“I love the idea behind this show and I’m really excited about working with LIVINGtv. Black is back!” - Cilla Black

The concept of the show will be Cilla returning to what she does best – reuniting people and making dreams come true. Also expect plenty of festive surprises with a few "Celebrity Santa’s" along the way, some lucky individuals will even be treated to makeovers. There will even be a return of Cilla playing cupid as she comes to the aid of love-struck emailers and hosts a live speed dating-game.

This will definately be a highlight in Christmas viewing and the most interactive show of Cilla’s illustrious career. Viewers will be involved in every aspect of the live spectacular including helping track down long lost friends and relations.

Richard Woolfe (Director of Programmes): "This is the biggest commission ever made for LIVINGtv and has a colossal budget… "
