Popular bingo channel provides the behind the scenes gossip on the awards season
Thursday 11th February 2010
To celebrate the award season, Gala TV is welcoming Paul Ross, Dean Piper and Ashley Pearson to spill the beans on who they're tipping for the hotly contested Academy Awards and all the Tinsel Town gossip.
The 'Hollywood Bingo' show will be live on the interactive bingo channel, which is web-streamed on www.galabingo.com and broadcast on Sky and Freesat Channel 861, between 8-9pm every Friday night throughout February.
Movie buff Paul Ross will be in the Gala TV studio on 5 and 19 February discussing the latest film releases and Oscar hopefuls, while The Sunday Mirror's celebrity correspondent Dean Piper will be appearing on 12 February. Completing the line up on 26 February is This Morning's resident gossip queen Ashley Pearson who will be revealing all of the latest celebrity gossip.
And, the red carpet fun doesn't stop there. Each of the dedicated shows will feature a 20p a ticket 'Hollywood Bingo' game where, in addition to the cash prize, all full
house winners will receive exclusive film-based merchandise. All of the 'Hollywood Bingo' winners (1 line, 2 line as well as full house) from throughout the month will
be entered into a prize draw where one lucky player will win the chance to attend a VIP film premiere in London, followed by a night in a hotel.
Paul Ross said: 'It's great to be able to share my thoughts on who I think has got a real chance of scooping an Oscar and any gossip on what the celebrities are really like when the cameras stop rolling. I'll also be giving advice on the latest 'must see' films that are currently on at the cinema.'
Ashley Pearson said: 'The awards season is a really exciting time in Hollywood, and I am looking forward to giving all the Gala TV viewers a sneak preview to all the
gossip from the pre Oscar parties, who is dating who, who is falling out and who is making up! The fashion mistakes, the rumours and what our own British A-Listers are up to in La La land.'
Kevin Loman, Gala TV manager, said: 'With the Oscars nearly upon us and three British actors and actresses shortlisted to win, Gala TV's chat rooms have been buzzing with conversations about who could win the coveted Oscar. We are delighted that Paul, Dean and Ashley can give us the inside track on all the goings on in Hollywood during February.'
Gala TV awards 200,000 winners a year and gives away approximately £20,000 each night in prize money. Viewers can play a variety of bingo and side games through the
web-stream or by simply using their remote control red button.
