If you thought Alison Hammond couldn’t possibly take on another show, think again.
The beloved TV presenter is reportedly being lined up to front the BBC’s revival of Hole in the Wall—and honestly, she sounds like the perfect choice.
Known for her infectious laugh and larger-than-life personality, Alison may be bringing her energy to one of the wackiest game shows ever made.
BBC Wants Alison to Lead the Hilarious Hole in the Wall Reboot
According to The Mirror, BBC bosses were blown away by Alison’s performance during the pilot for the rebooted Hole in the Wall.
So much so, they’ve now given the green light for a full series.
A source close to the production said, “Alison made a splash in the pilot so it was a no-brainer for bosses.
It’s the perfect fit for her. It’s fun, exciting and doesn’t take itself too seriously—just like Alison.”
Sounds like this one’s locked in.
A Throwback to One of TV’s Silliest Game Shows
If you need a refresher, Hole in the Wall originally ran from 2008 to 2009 and quickly became a fan-favourite thanks to its absurd yet entertaining concept.
It was a simple (and totally bonkers) idea: celebrities in lycra attempted to contort their bodies to fit through cut-outs in moving walls—fail, and they’d end up soaked in a pool of water.
The presenter would famously yell, “Bring on the wall!” to kick things off.
In its original run, the show was first hosted by Dale Winton, then later by Anton Du Beke.
Filming Set to Begin Soon, with 2026 Release Planned
Production for the new series is expected to start later this year, and if all goes to plan, the show will return to screens in 2026.
No official word yet from Alison or the BBC, but fans are already buzzing about the potential.
MailOnline has reportedly reached out to both for comment—but if the pilot was anything to go by, things are moving in the right direction.
The Show’s Format Brings Laughs and Charity Together
The fun part of Hole in the Wall isn’t just watching celebrities flail around—it also has a charitable twist.
Two teams of familiar TV faces go head-to-head each week, all while competing for a £10,000 prize, which gets donated to a charity of their choice.
So yes, it’s chaotic—but it’s chaos for a good cause.
Alison’s Calendar Is Packed With TV Gold
This new gig is just the latest in Alison’s growing list of TV appearances.
She’s become one of the UK’s most sought-after personalities, from This Morning to Bake Off and now potentially adding Hole in the Wall to her résumé.

And about her sister? Alison was quick to gush: “It’s a real family affair too, because my fabulous sister Saundra is getting involved as well. Expect laughs, eye-rolls, and lots of commentary, classic Hammond style!”
