Actor and documentary presenter Ross Kemp will host the new quiz show Bridge of Lies for BBC One.

The series will see teams of contestants attempt to cross a bridge consisting of stepping stones with various truths and lies based on general knowledge categories.

Each player must try to safely step on to the stones carrying the truths and avoid the lies, or risk falling off and out of the game. In order to take home the cash prize, the players who’ve conquered the bridge on their own must then club together to face the dramatic final crossing.

Speaking on what makes the quiz show unique, Ross Kemp commented: “It’s very physical. The contestants are not just standing behind a podium answering questions; they have to physically make their way across the Bridge, and that’s no easy feat.

We also get to watch contestants reacting to how their fellow team members play the game. We see inside the various group dynamics and get an insight into how these people interact with each other. It can all get a little bit soapy actually.”

The STV series was filmed in Glasgow as part of a competitive initiative by BBC Daytime to find new quiz formats made in Scotland.

Bridge of Lies begins on BBC One and iPlayer on Monday 14 March at 4.30pm.
