Gary Lineker'S 'The Box' – Itv'S Star-Studded Show Set To Dazzle
Gary Lineker's New Adventure with ITV
Gary Lineker is back in the spotlight, but this time he's leaving the football field behind to host ITV's exciting new show, 'The Box'. This marks his first major project since stepping away from the BBC's 'Match of the Day' last May. Lineker, who recently broke Ant and Dec's 23-year winning streak at the National Television Awards by bagging the presenter prize, is set to bring his charm and wit to this thrilling new venture.
Meet the Star-Studded Line-Up
Get ready to see some familiar faces as 'The Box' promises an impressive line-up of celebrity contestants. From reality TV personalities like Joey Essex to respected presenters like Ranvir Singh, the show is packed with talent. Other notable names include former Commons Speaker John Bercow, 'The Chase' star Jenny Ryan, JLS singer JB Gill, YouTuber Danny Aarons, 'Dragons' Den' favourite Sara Davies, former footballer Graeme Souness, comedian Ellie Taylor, and 'Love Islander' Shakira Khan. Filming is set to take place in the UK later this year, with the show airing in 2026.
What's 'The Box' All About?
The concept of 'The Box' is as intriguing as its line-up. Ten celebrity contestants will each be housed in yellow boxes and transported to unknown locations. Once released, they'll face a series of challenges, culminating in a weekly showdown called The Duel. The stakes are high as the loser of The Duel leaves the competition for good. Gary Lineker is thrilled about the diverse mix of contestants, saying, "From my experience, the most successful teams are built on a mix of strengths and abilities, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this line-up." With such a dynamic group, viewers can expect plenty of surprises and entertainment.
Behind the Scenes at ITV
ITV is just as excited as Lineker about 'The Box'. Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment, reality, and daytime commissioning at ITV, shared her enthusiasm, noting, "We’re delighted to welcome this impressive line-up of celebrities to The Box. They will each bring a unique perspective and approach to the varying challenges they will face, and observing how they react will make for incredibly entertaining viewing for our audiences." Originally launched on TV2 in Norway, 'The Box' is set to bring its unique brand of entertainment to UK screens, promising viewers a thrilling ride from start to finish.
