Trisha Goddard to RETURN to ITV with a reboot of her iconic talk show as she prepares to film a pilot after 16-year break
Trisha Goddard is set for a comeback on UK screens, as she prepares to film a reboot of her iconic talk show.
The broadcaster, 62, will record a pilot for a new ITV series later this month, after originally hosting her talk show on the channel from 1998 to 2004.
It would mark a return to the UK for Trisha after she moved to the US in 2011 to launch her talk show Stateside, but it was axed by NBC after just two seasons.

A source close to Trisha confirmed the reports to MailOnline, after an insider told The Sun that Trisha is set to film a pilot for her series next week, in the hope ITV bosses will place it in a coveted afternoon slot.
They said: ‘It’s being referred to as Talk to Trisha at the moment.
‘But telly fans will recognise it for what it is — the old legendary show and her back together.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for ITV for further comment.

Trisha has also signed to a new UK agency InterTalent and is set to appear on an upcoming episode of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories discussing her turbulent career.
The presenter surprised fans by making her TV comeback in January as a contestant on Dancing On Ice, but was the first celebrity skater to be eliminated.
Her original talk show focused on real-life subjects and light-hearted debates, but in later years sparked controversy for its including of dramatic confrontations between guests in light of US hit The Jerry Springer Show.

The series also saw the use of DNA and lie detector, and was the predecessor to the Jeremy Kyle Show, which took over the mid-morning slot in 2004 until it was axed in 2019 following the death of one of its guests.
Trisha moved the series from ITV to Channel 5 in 2005, where it continued to air for five years before being axed in 2010.
In 2012 Trisha launched her self-titled talk show in the US as a spin-off of the popular series Maury, but it was axed two years later.
