DERMOT O'LEARY 'SET TO PRESENT NEW FAMILY BONDING SERIES FOR ITV'

The new show will reportedly feature family members going head to head on a once-in-a-lifetime ­bonding trip.

A source told The Sun: "This past year has been an incredibly hard one for families who have been forced apart by the pandemic. This upbeat competition series hopes to not only celebrate and nurture those bonds but pit the duos against others with a series of challenging tasks in the great outdoors...

"By teaching and sharing their knowledge of life skills such as building, craft and constructing, not only are the teams hoping to win but also learn more about their roots and strengthen the bonds of their friendships...

"Producers hope the show will be a fun and inspiring competition format at a time when the whole country can at last spend more time with their loved ones. To make it the ­ultimate feel-good   show, new dad Dermot has been invited to join the adventure as host."

Dermot is currently hosting This Morning with Alison Hammond every Friday from 10am on ITV.
