Cat Deeley and co-host Rylan Clark, who brought back the beloved game Wonkey Donkey. The unexpected revival took place during the popular Spin To Win segment.
Caller Peter, who had just secured an £800 prize through Spin To Win, found himself with an additional game to play—the iconic Wonkey Donkey. In a nod to Cat Deeley, Rylan proposed reintroducing the game after a two-decade break.
Recreating the magic of the past, the hosts brought back the original theme, logo, and playful camera angles that made Wonkey Donkey a Saturday morning favorite on 'SMTV Live' across the nation. Rylan declared, «Today, it is back!»
Cat, with a nod to her former co-hosts Ant and Dec, joined in on the fun. «Now, this wasn’t actually my bit, but I’m gonna go with it,» she teased, setting the stage for the chaotic hilarity that followed.
The rules of Wonkey Donkey were reintroduced to the audience.
The game involves showing a stuffed animal, such as a donkey missing a leg, and labeling it a «Wonkey Donkey.» The crucial element of the game is that the answer must rhyme. Cat explained the rules, stating that it was very simple. She mentioned that they would show a stuffed animal, citing a donkey missing a leg as an example and it would be labeled a «Wonkey Donkey.»
Despite the simplicity of the game, the real challenge lies in the rhyming aspect.
