Lingo is a British game show. The original iteration of the programme was made by Thames Television and Action Time for ITV and is based on the American version, it ran for a single series with host Martin Daniels from 12 May to 14 July 1988. A revived version based on the Dutch version has been airing since 1 January 2021 hosted by Adil Ray.
In the revival version, Objective Media Group revived Lingo with new presenter Adil Ray. The bingo element has been eliminated in the revival, focusing instead entirely on the word guessing game. In September 2022, ITV1 premiered the spin-off Celebrity Lingo, with RuPaul (who is hosting a U.S. revival of Lingo for CBS that is also being filmed in Salford) as host.
