The brand-new format will see eight players battle it out on the Tournament Run in a series of tug-of-war quiz matches. As they attempt to knock their opponents out of the game and steal their cash, only one player will make it to the end, where they have the chance to double their money on the Golden Run.

Alex Scott commented: “I’m hoping viewers will love the high energy it brings and watching all the fantastic contestants battle their way through the competition. Its’s a show full of strategy and risk, where favourites can be overthrown, and underdogs can end up top dog!”

Scott will co-present alongside Dermot O’Leary as the touchline correspondent for the live charity event.

"Soccer Aid 2021 for UNICEF is going to be just brilliant," said Scott. "It's great to be involved again, and of course co-presenting alongside Dermot is really exciting.

"It'll be so special to be back in a stadium with fans again, and all for a great cause. Tickets are on sale now – see you in September!"

The programme will discuss the findings of Imperial College London and the BBC’s national survey of our mental health, which, with over 350,000 participants, provides a unique insight into the impact of COVID-19.

Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman return this September as they announce the new dance pairings.
