ITV announces Free Bingo!

ITV has announced that it is to offer free late night bingo games throughout the coming summer months. Viewers will have the opportunity to play at home and win £1,000's per televised game, which promises to bring a unique dimension to the game of Bingo. And what's more ITV have guaranteed that the games will not involve a single premium rate telephone call being made by its interactive audience.

The games will be broadcast at mid-night from Tuesday night through to Saturday night in one hour episodes, and will be hosted by self-confessed Bingo enthusiast Melinda Messenger, and Michael Underwood of GMTV fame. The show, named Bingo Night Live begins this coming Wednesday 4th June with a generous opening night 'Golden Jackpot' of £25,000.

The show will lay claim to the largest and most innovative Bingo set on UK television and will be intended to provide the audience all the excitement and drama of the nation's favourite game.

There will be three main games as well as several mini-games per episode, in addition to live entertainment from the two hosts, with Underwood adopting the part of Bingo caller during the three main games. Messenger will operate additional live and interactive games which will include 'Minute to win it' and 'Magic Numbers', both of which boast further free cash prizes.

To take part in the free games players must register with ITV online from Monday 2nd June and download Bingo cards, which are also absolutely free.
