The launch of Children’s ITV (CITV) in January 1983 saw Kelly as its original presenter, adding another feather to his cap. His popularity continued to soar, leading to his surprise feature on This Is Your Life in 1983, a testament to his widespread recognition and impact on the entertainment scene.
For over a decade, Kelly’s focus remained on light entertainment shows like Kelly’s Eye (1985), You Bet! (1991–95), and the iconic Stars in Their Eyes. Taking over from Russ Abbot in the latter, Kelly became the permanent host, solidifying his status as a household name.
