Ben Shephard announces new role on rival Channel 4 quiz show ‘Exciting news!’
Tipping Point: Ben Shephard says contestant Dan is ‘invincible’
Ben Shephard is following in the footsteps of the king of television game shows Bradley Walsh, as he adds another programme to his repertoire. It comes after Ben announced he is producing a new quiz show and is on the lookout for people to take part in the concept. However, this career move will see the presenter switch from ITV to Channel 4 and it is set to air later this year.
Taking to his Instagram account, Ben told his followers: “Hello everyone, it’s freezing, so I’m going to try and warm you up with some exciting news.
“I’m helping to produce a new quiz for Channel 4 – I know, get me!
“And we want you guys to get involved! We want teams of two to come and take on our quiz.
“It’s a list based quiz, we give you a list of answers and you just have to decipher which category they fall into.
We will use your email address only for sending you newsletters. Please see our Privacy Notice for details of your data protection rights.
“For example, the list could be, Grand National horses and drag queens! Sounds easy doesn’t it, but it’s not quite as easy as you think.
“Also, there are some decoy answers which have been laid by our super quizzing gurus who are there to try and catch you out.
“As I say, we need teams of two, so maybe you wanted to take part in the past but have never felt confident about doing it on your own – now is your chance to grab a mate and do it together.
“A housemate, someone you live with, someone in your bubble, that’s really, really important,” he continued.
“But, we would love for you to get involved, it’s brilliant, you’ll love it, you’ll have such a good laugh, you could win a few thousand pounds and let’s face it, what else is there to do?”
He accompanied the post with the following caption: “Let’s face it it’s been a rubbish start to 2021 so how about you take the year by the short and curlies and apply to take on our brand new quiz show for Channel 4.
“We’re looking for teams of two who fancy giving it a crack (go on you know you want to) maybe winning some cash (yes please!) and start the year with a bang (Happy days!)
“Here are the details you need and hopefully we’ll be seeing you very soon! Good luck!”
