Who Wants to be a Millionaire? is returning, with a brand new host, to mark its 20th anniversary.

Former Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson will host a new series of seven hour-long episodes to play out every night across one week in the spring. 

As ever, the show will give members of the public the chance to win £1,000,000. Each contestant will attempt to answer 15 questions to win the grand prize, help along the way by the famous lifelines of asking the audience, phoning a friend and taking the 50:50 option.

There will also be a number of new twists this time around. Intriguing...

Clarkson said of the new series: “I have always loved the show and am thrilled to be involved with its re- birth. I’m a big fan of quiz shows and I’m looking forward to hosting this iconic TV show and hopefully making a few millionaires!”
