ITV announces new primetime game show Moneyball, hosted by football icon Ian Wright. 

Contestants could win a life changing amount of money or go home empty handed, the outcome is decided simply by the bounce of a ball. 

In order to win big, contestants will need to answer a series of questions correctly, but as the money increases, so does the pressure. 

If the pressure gets too much, players can leave early with the prize fund, but they must take one final shot, which will force them to continue playing or allow them to leave with the money. 

“From the moment ITV got in touch with the idea, I was hooked and there was no way I could’ve said no to Moneyball,” said Ian Wright. 

He continued: “It’s exhilarating, fun, dramatic, everything you want from a game show. Even though I know I’ll want everyone to win the money and even though I know I’ll be in bits when they lose, I can't wait for everyone at home to experience the real drama of Moneyball.”

Katie Rawcliffe, Head of ITV Entertainment Commissioning, added: “We are delighted to have Ian at the helm of this exciting, new format that suits him perfectly. A heart-stopping game show that is full of humour, drama and life changing moments."
