‘I can’t wait to see the celeb and contestant teams go head-to-head and for the viewers to see what a special show we’ve cooked up.’ 

The contestant and celebrity pairs will need to bring their A game, as they try and figure out the hidden talents of eight mystery performers in each episode.   

The former All Star Family Fortunes host returns to mainstream TV with a new role on the irreverent series, which endeavours to blend the best elements of two surefire ratings winners – game shows and talent shows.

An early preview for the show saw a smartly suited Vernon dodging fireworks, feather and flying marshmallows while familiarising himself with his script.

A plume of fire even threatens to engulf the presenter as he attempts to avoid the flying obstacles, suggesting the entertainment on show will mirror ITV mainstay Britain’s Got Talent. 

A visibly ruffled Vernon is later seen dusting himself off while telling viewers: ‘Blimey, I didn’t see that coming.’

ITV has syndicated the show following a promising start for Fox Network in the United States, where it launched with Wayne Brady as host from March 10th.
