ITV is to be the new home for the National Lottery live draws.
BBC1 stopped screening the draw live some 15 months ago. Since then, the only way for lottery ticket holders to watch the winning balls being drawn was via the BBC’s digital iPlayer service.
ITV1’s decision to revive primetime live draws will see it broadcast at 8.15pm on Saturdays during a 90-second slot in Britain’s Got Talent, which starts its new series tomorrow.
The first draw will be hosted by Stephen Mulhern, who has landed the role a week after his star turn on Saturday Night Takeaway.
The show will reveal a new promotion, to begin the following Saturday, in which viewers can win cash prizes, according to National Lottery operator Camelot.
