Jeremy Kyle to host ITV1 gameshow 'High Stakes'

Jeremy Kyle has signed up to present a new gameshow on ITV1.



The talkshow host has landed the role on High Stakes, The Sun reports.

The show is described as a game of "knowledge, risk and tension".

Contestants, who can win £500,000, have to choose the right six steps on a grid and avoid certain numbers.

"I am hugely excited to be hosting this brand new quiz show," Kyle said. "It's a totally new format."

Earlier this year, ITV2 announced that it will broadcast the American version of Kyle's chatshow. The series is expected to begin in the US in September.
