MYF WARHURST 'IT FEELS LIKE COMING HOME'

The star reflects on 20 years of Spicks & Specks as the show returns for its milestone anniversary season

- 

Twenty years ago, music-themed comedy quiz show Spicks & Specks first burst onto our TV screens. Hosted by comedian Adam Hills, it saw two teams of three - led by music aficionado Myf Warhurst and comic Alan Brough - compete in a series of fun games designed to test their music knowledge.

Along with the great celebrity guest team members that appeared each week, the show was also a platform for amazing musical performances.

For Myf, who just turned 52, the time has absolutely flown by. “I can’t believe I’m that old!” she tells Woman’s Day with a laugh. “It started at such a different time - 2005 was just a completely different landscape to what it is now.

“And the fact that a show like that is still relevant and is still going, is still loved and enjoyed by people, and I got to be a part of that, it’s such a privilege. It feels like coming home.”

To mark the milestone, the show - which initially ran for seven seasons and, after a series of themed specials from 2018 to 2020, was relaunched in 2021 - returns this week with the first of 14 new episodes featuring all the elements that made the series a fan favourite.
