Sue Barker to reunite with Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson for live stage show
Sue Barker is to reunite with Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson for 'A Question Of...Live', almost for years after she stepped down from her long-running role on the quiz show.
Sue Barker will reunite with Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson for 'A Question Of...Live'.
The 68-year-old star presented 'A Question of Sport' for the BBC from 1997 until 2021 and is now set to get back together with her former co-stars for a stage show that will visit theatres up and down the UK throughout March 2025.
Sue said: "‘I am thrilled to be reuniting with Matt and Phil. We love a quiz. We love a laugh. Can’t wait!!
The live show will feature rounds and challenges familiar to everyone, along with exciting new elements created just for the tour."
Matt said: "I am delighted to be going on tour with Sue and Tuffers and welcoming back some of our favourite sporting guests from over the years.’
Each show will feature a panel of special guest sporting superstars, with line-up announcements coming closer to the event. Audience members will get a chance to test their sporting knowledge against Matt, Phil, and their teams right from their seats.
Phil added: "‘I can’t wait to get back on the road with the dream team of Sue, Matt and me! Good luck Sue in looking after Matt and me and all our great guests."
Sue announced her departure the BBC quiz show in 2020 after almost quarter of a century, and was replaced by former 'Take Me Out' host Paddy McGuinness, but the broadcaster pulled the series altogether in 2023.
At the time, Sue said: "Hopefully they'll bring it back because they haven't said they're going to bin it forever. So bring it back and have fun again, it'll be great.
"I think that a lot of people miss it. I used to get people coming up to me and say, how can I get on 'A Question of Sport'? And I had to say, look, it's not my decision, but you have to keep winning, you have to keep putting yourself out there."
