He said: ‘Of course TFI Friday is coming back in September.
Explaining the decision to go online, he added: ‘The thing is, you don’t need a TV channel now. You just don’t need one.
‘It’s amazing what you can do. TFI Friday doesn’t have to be an hour long, it could be longer, we could livestream it.’
Chris added that he still has all of the ‘back catalogue’ from the show’s original run.
