Grant Denyer says there have been discussions about reviving Family Feud on the back of The Masked Singer’s success for Network 10.
Gold Logie winner Denyer, who hosts Celebrity Name Game and Dancing With the Stars, said it was nice to hear there was talk about the game show after it was axed last year.
“I think it’s been discussed, I do know it was, but I don’t know where it’s at,’’ said former host Denyer.
“Celebrity Name Game is going well and it’s on brand — it’s young, it’s fun, it’s fast, it’s bright. I get stopped in the street 20 times a day, everyone loved Family Feud.”
Denyer, a guest of Ten on Derby Day, will start filming Dancing With the Stars with Amanda Keller in February from Melbourne.
“I love live telly and I really miss live telly,” he said.
“That show has a great vibe about it, in the room it’s incredible.
“I’d love to get Schapelle Corby on there. It’d be awesome to get her, and now that she’s talking it would be awesome to encourage her.”
Denyer said he was loving life on his farm.
“I’ve got 15 cows, had another one born yesterday. We’ve got an albino cow as well,’’ he said.
“When you see your four year-old cuddle a fresh baby calf it’s one of the cutest moments. “I’ve been away a lot so it’s about time I invest some time in the family.”

He also revealed he met his wife Chezzi on Melbourne Cup Day.
“I’ve never told the story. We worked together, we didn’t really like one another. She was very strong minded and so was I and we clashed. We brushed hands and I felt this tingle from my head to my toes and I thought ‘I can’t live without this woman’.
“I just felt this sensation run through me.”
