The show will see the audience and a celebrity panel vote on whether members of the public, or ‘challengers’, can pull off a series of intense challenges. The celebrities will receive a certain amount of points for their correct guesses, based on the percentage of the audience who also vote correctly.

The highest-scoring celebrity will win £10,000 for charity, while the celebrity who comes in last will face a forfeit. The audience will also vote for their favourite challenger, who will receive a £10,000 cash prize.

The show is set to be packed with amazing prizes and hysterical games, providing good family entertainment.

Alan Carr said, “I'm so excited to be the new host of The Price is Right. It's proper bucket list territory for me as I loved it when I was growing up and now for me to be at the helm of such a legendary show is a dream come true. It just leaves me with one thing to say ... COME ON DOWN!”

The show follows the career of some of our best loved celebrities from the world of comedy and showbiz.

Narrated by Tamsin Greig (Episodes, Friday Night Dinner), this series will look at the lives of comic actor Peter Sellers, the incorrigible Frankie Howerd, Barry Humphries and his larger-than-life alter ego Dame Edna Everage, king of Saturday night Sir Bruce Forsyth, comedy great Kenny Everett, and much loved national treasure Julie Walters.

Radio Times has announced the line up for its inaugural festival, which will be held at Hampton Court Palace in September.

The programme includes talks from RTS award-winners Sir Bruce Forsyth, Melvyn Bragg and Peter Bowker, alongside masterclasses ranging from drawing with Horrid Henry illustrator Tony Ross to learning how to act on radio with The Archers’ Charles Collingwood (Brian Aldridge).
