The original series, which ended in 1987, was hosted by Tom O'Connor and Lionel Blair, according to historical records. The revival is said to feature a dedicated band. Hammond told the Daily Mirror's 3am Showbiz that her biggest challenge will be resisting the urge to sing along, and described the new format as 'next-level' and 'EPIC', with the band belting out major hits.
Addressing speculation that she might host BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, she said she was not in talks for the role, stating she is too busy to take it on or appear on The Traitors; she expressed gratitude for being considered but said her schedule makes it unrealistic. According to records, Hammond appeared on Strictly in 2014, finishing in 10th place. Reports indicate that previous hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman left the show last year, but the BBC has yet to officially confirm new hosts, according to sources.
The exact air date for Name That Tune and the identities of its contestants remain unannounced.
