GAMESHOW SPIN-OFFS SET FOR NEW ITV WEEKDAY EVENING SLOT

ITV's new soap schedule, announced earlier this year, from 2026 will see

MILLIONAIRE HOT SEAT

A twist on the classic Millionaire format, Millionaire Hot Seat sees six contestants vying for a chance to win big, but there's no room for indecision. Contestants sit in a queue around the titular Hot Seat. Only the person in the Hot Seat can face Jeremy and answer questions on the Million Pound Money Ladder. Answer correctly to climb the ladder.

Answer incorrectly and you're out and the top prize drops. Pass you stay in the game, but go to the back of the line and you might not get another turn. If a passed question goes to the next player, they must answer. Get it right, they stay. Get it wrong, they’re out. Only the top prize remaining on the ladder can be won. The player taking on that question must answer it correctly to take home the cash.

CELEBRITY LINGO

Lingo host Adil Ray referees two teams of celebrities as they go head-to-head in the same gripping wordplay. Across the fast paced 30-minute episodes the well-known teams will race to fill in the blanks in the hope of raising money for their chosen charities. Packed with humour from our star-studded line up, Celebrity Lingo will bring the star treatment to the fan-favourite game.

PASSWORD

Series 2

Each episode of Password sees two celebrities pair up with contestants to give one-word clues that aim to help their teammate guess a mystery ‘password’. In a change to the previous series, the second series will see different celebrity captains each episode.

The teams must try to get on each other’s wavelengths as they take it in turns to guess the all-important password across multiple rounds - hilarious clues and even funnier guesses are all that stand in the way of lucky contestants being in with a chance to win a big cash prize.

In the absence of Series 1 regular team captains Alan Carr and Daisy May Cooper, the second series will see a host of famous faces joining returning host Stephen Mangan. These include comedian Chris McCausland, Diversity's Jordan Banjo, presenter Josie Gibson, professional dancer Oti Mabuse, comedian Lou Sanders, actor Sally Lindsay and former Rugby ace Joe Marler.

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
