WATCH: Stars Pay Tribute To TV Legend In Trailer For “Our Cilla”

We hear from the people who knew her best.

Saturday nights aren’t the same without Cilla. 

Cilla Black was a major part of Irish households in the 80’s and 90’s when she hosted the popular Saturday night show, ‘Blind Date‘ and also ‘Surprise Surprise‘.  And who could forget ‘Moment of Truth‘, which ran for 4 series in the late 90’s/early 00’s. Back then, weekend TV centred around Cilla Black.

Prior to that and afterwards, she had a very successful singing career and hosted various different shows on TV. Only in 2013, ITV broadcast a tribute show, ‘The One And Only Cilla Black’, to mark her 50 years in show business.

Earlier this year, Cilla Black passed away from a stroke. To honour her once more, ITV will be showing a tribute show to the late star.

Our Cilla‘ will be shown on UTV Ireland and ITV on Christmas Day at 10:45pm. On the show, Paul O’Grady, Ringo Starr and Joan Collins will pay tribute to the legend, Cilla Black.
