Joel Dommett is set to host a brand-new, high-octane game show, produced by Expectation, where contestants are challenged to shout at the TV to win a fortune.
In With a Shout, which will shoot at MediaCityUK’s dock10, is set to screen on on ITV1 and ITVX, will see two families battle against each other for a £20,000 prize by answering questions hidden within a montage of moving images.
To win the cash, the contestants will have to shout the answers displayed on TV screens. For every category they get right they move further up the money ladder, but the pressure is on as the families have to bank as much cash as possible and avoid crashing out altogether.
The winning family will then have 60 seconds to successfully answer questions correctly to turn off the TV’s. If they fail to turn off all 10 tellies in the timeframe, they walk away with nothing.
Dommett said: “I am beyond excited to be hosting my first quiz show. It’s always been a dream for me and I can’t believe I’m finally here, plus it’s a show I love so much. I’m ready to cheer, console, congratulate and sometimes laugh at our wonderful contestants. I’m always shouting at the telly so the hardest part will be for me to stand silently and not join in.”
Katie Rawcliffe, head of entertainment commissioning, ITV added: “In With A Shout is an exciting format which will have audiences shouting at their screen, you can’t resist playing along. Joel is the perfect host to bring sparkle and warmth whilst guiding the contestants to victory.”
Ben Wicks, creative director, entertainment for Expectation said: “We couldn’t be more excited about making In With A Shout with the wonderful people at ITV and the prodigiously talented Joel Dommett. This wildly frenetic format is perfectly tailored to his comedic skills. Families of Britain, prove yourselves to be the best or fail hilariously.”
