Countdown

The series will see celebrities team up with their family members to try and win cash for a charity of their choice.

Though the adult children provide the answers, it’s the parents picking the questions. Contestants will need to hope mum or dad know them well enough to choose ones their child can answer, and avoid ones they can’t.

Whichever team gets the biggest pile of cash will go through to the final, where they will have the chance to double their winnings.

Murray has guest hosted the UK’s longest running TV quiz show since summer 2022, becoming a favourite among fans.

Confirming the news on Steph’s Packed Lunch, Murray said: “It’s a career dream to be named as permanent anchor of one of television's most iconic programmes. I have been a fan since day one, been part of the family for over a decade, appearing on Dictionary Corner, and now I get the honour of guiding it into a fifth decade. However, I just don’t want Countdown to survive, I want it to thrive.
