Noel Edmonds, the host of Channel 4's 'Deal or No Deal' is set to make his return to BBC ONE later next month as the host of a special National Lottery show, nearly twelve years after presenting the first ever Lottery program on the BBC channel.

The show, which is part of 'National Lottery Day' is a two-part 90-minute celebration for the various good causes that the National Lottery or 'Lotto' has supported over the last twelve years.
'The National Lottery – Everyone's A Winner' is a one-off game show played live on the night, with several celebrity guests playing alongside contestants in the studio, at home and at Lottery-funded locations around the country for a chance to win big prizes.
The show will also reveal the winners of the National Lottery Awards, which celebrate the inspirational work of Lottery-funded projects, and cover some of the special National Lottery Day events taking place around the country.
Noel Edmonds said the following: "I relish the opportunity of once again hosting a major live TV event for the BBC, and look forward to developing exciting new programme ideas compatible with my long-term commitment to Deal or No Deal."
Since the national game began in 1994, the lottery has raised over £18.6bn for good causes, with more than 240,000 grants awarded. The 'National Lottery Day' will be on BBC ONE on the 23rd of September.
