Rylan to present 'slightly unhinged' game show, Babushka, for ITV
Rylan Clark-Neal has landed another presenting gig, hosting a new Russian-themed game show Babushka on ITV
Presenter Rylan Neal-Clark is set to host a bizarre new game show, with a specifically Russian theme.
According to ITV, which has already commissioned 20 episodes of the show, Babushka will see contestants crack their way through a series of eight giant Russian dolls to tot up a cash prize of up to £44,000.
But the suspense will build as, each time they open an empty doll, they lose all the accumulated money.
ITV Daytime revealed Rylan’s latest role as he gave it a mention himself on This Morning on Monday. And after another weekend of hosting the after-show gossip surrounding the intensifying CBB drama, we’re guessing his new job will provide some gentle, light relief…
The creators described the show’s premise as a 'thrilling combination of knowledge, strategy and pure luck'.
