Why is Sally Lindsay hosting Tenable?
The star hosted her first episode of ITV quiz show Tenable this week, replacing Warwick Davis.
She revealed she’s co-hosting the programme with the actor as he’s been unable to film due to other commitments.
The actress, who will be presenting 25 episodes, said: “I’m a huge fan of Tenable and am delighted I’m able to share the presenting responsibilities with Warwick.
“The demands of his workload meant that he wasn’t able to record every show in the series.”

Warwick confirmed the news, telling fans on Twitter: “Sally is stepping into my hosting shoes for a run of shows while I’m in pre-production for another project.”

One of Sally’s most recent projects was a role in the Channel 5 drama Intruder, which centred on a wealthy couple whose lives are shattered after they kill a teenage burglar.

She’s likewise hosted documentary series, including Posh Hotels, alongside pal Nigel Havers, and the recent Channel 5 programme Posh Sleepover.
