What happens

Waffle is a British game show that aired on ITV from 24 March to 24 June 1998. It was hosted by Nick Weir and was Weir's first nationally broadcast game show. The guests in the first episode were Lisa Riley, then-host of fellow Granada-produced show You've Been Framed!, and Jonathan Kerrigan from Casualty. Other contestants over the run of the series included Claudia Winkleman, Michael Willson (A.K.A. Cobra) from Gladiators and actor Kevin Lloyd from The Bill who died in 1998 whilst both shows were still running. He was a contestant in several episodes. Cheryl Andrews, comedian John Martin and television presenter Lionel Blair also appeared as contestants. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
