Challenge Anneka, the classic show featuring Anneka Rice, is set to be revived by Channel 5.<\/p>\n

The series, which first ran for seven seasons between 1989 and 1995 on BBC One, featured Rice as she was set challenges at locations around the country. She would then call in the help of local people and businesses in order to help tackle problems faced by deserving communities.<\/p>\n

The show was revived by ITV for two specials which aired in 2006 and 2007, but this will be the first time that the show will return for a full season, with four hour-long episodes.<\/p>\n

Rice broke the news of the revival on her Twitter<\/a> account, posting a video which saw her appear in 1990s lycra and confirm the involvement of classic series stalwart Dave the Soundman.<\/p>\n
