He took on the role of celebrity bingo caller after answering questions from the general public read out by co-hosts Yasmin Khan and Chris Parker, formerly Spencer Moon from Eastenders.
The programme was broadcast live on the companys website, giving web users the chance to join in and play online bingo.
