No decision on Red or Black? return

Ant and Dec hosted Red or Black? last month

ITV's programme boss has revealed he hasn't decided whether Simon Cowell's Red or Black? show will return to TV.

Peter Fincham, the network's director of television, said if it did come back he would like to see some changes.

The Ant and Dec-fronted show was screened last month, with each night's winner walking away with either £1 million or nothing after a 50-50 gamble.

The show was the subject of controversy when it emerged the first jackpot had gone to a contestant who had been jailed for a violent attack.

Several other contestants were removed from further shows after investigations into their backgrounds.

Asked whether the show would be back, Mr Fincham said "I haven't made that decision yet", according to MediaGuardian.

Speaking to an audience of advertisers, he said: "It is a big show - the sort of thing ITV should be doing on a Saturday night."

But he said he would "want to make some changes".

"I'm nearly there, but not quite ready yet," he added.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

You never do anything in moderation. Attend every fun party, accept every juicy offer and try all the delectable treats spread before you. Avoid unpleasant people and activities like the plague. This should be a time of enjoyment. Leave your list of chores at home. You can always attend to these jobs at another time. If you have a chance to show your creative work to a publisher, manager or agent, go ahead. This is also a great opportunity to go on job interviews, auditions and first dates.More
