The popular TV duo teamed up on the one-off festive special of the BBC One programme, which gives studio audience members the chance to win the trip of a lifetime to Lapland, in December, and now the pair look set to return for another instalment later this year.

According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column, producers are on the lookout for "fun, confident, enthusiastic people", who want to win "the ultimate prize of jetting off on holiday".

Holly, 38, and Bradley, 59, are usually seen on 'This Morning' and 'The Chase' respectively on rival channel ITV, among other programmes.

A source added to the tabloid: "It's a great get for the BBC to poach two of ITV's most popular stars.

"Holly is the golden girl of ITV, and 'The Chase' is massive for the channel.

"How they're both going to find time to do both is beyond me, but the Beeb are delighted. The contracts are all but signed."

Speaking about the Christmas special, Bradley said at the time: "Holly and I are going to help people have a wonderful Christmas this year... and we're going to have a right laugh whilst we do it!

"I can't wait to cheer up the nation with Holly at my side. Bring. It. On."

Whilst his colleague Holly was excited to celebrate her "favourite time of year".

She added: "This Christmas Brad and I are going to be on the telly, on a Saturday night, surprising the nation with Christmas gifts of all shapes and sizes.

"And I couldn't be happier! Christmas is without doubt my favourite time of year. Happy Christmas everyone!"

The Beeb were delighted the pair signed up for the hour-long special so it's not surprise it's heading back to screens.

Kate Phillips - the BBC's Controller, Entertainment Commissioning - said: "We're thrilled to have Holly and Bradley fronting T'ake Off' for BBC One.

"This one-off special will see audience members compete for the trip of a lifetime, under the watchful eye of our fantastic, funny hosts."
