Rob Brydon will be hosting the BBC's new competitive reality show Destination X.
The show will see 13 contestants on a journey through Europe competing for £100,000.
Destination X contestants will travel around Europe on a special bus, where the windows of the bus are opaque but can briefly become clear at the flick of a switch.
The players have to learn to live with each other and to complete challenges to win clues as to where on earth they are.
At the end of each episode, they all go into the 'map room' on the bus and place an X on the map trying to guess where they are.

Whoever is furthest away from the actual location or Destination X has to leave.
The winner of Destination X will receive the six-figure cash prize.
On hosting the show, Brydon said: "I've never done a TV show on this scale before. I loved the idea of it, the combination of having to work out clues as to where you are and having to get on with each other.
"It struck me as the best bits of The Traitors with the best bits of Race Across the World.

"The other thing that attracted me was the scale of it and being a part of a show as ambitious as this, with as huge a crew and as huge a team.
"I knew it would be a real challenge to see if I could steer that ship."
Destination X begins on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday, July 30, at 9pm, with episodes airing on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Welsh rock legend Dave Edmunds seriously ill in hospital after cardiac arrest
Welsh musician Dave Edmunds is gravely ill in intensive care following a cardiac arrest, according to his wife. The Cardiff-born performer, aged 81, reportedly died before being brought back to life, the Express reported. His spouse of 40 years, Cecilia Edmunds, known as Cici, posted a heartfelt message on Facebook describing the terrifying ordeal at their Rockfield home in Monmouthshire. Cici explained how she fought to "keep him alive" whilst a nurse administered "heavy CPR" on Dave at their residence. Cici recalled the nurse's devastating words: "Cici I'm gonna stop. Dave is gone. He is dead." Cici says she refused to give up on her husband and asked fans to send prayers and messages of support for Dave, who is critically ill in hospital. She revealed that he has suffered significant brain damage and memory loss, and is at a "high risk" of experiencing another cardiac arrest. She said: "I'm still in shock and I believe I have PTSD from the horrific experience. My brilliant talented funny and special Dave could really use as many peoples prayers and good wishes so to speak." "Thank you all for your support and well wishes. It means the world to me. Dave will have a very long journey ahead of him if he survives. We both have. "But knowing that there are kind hearted people such as you all. Makes this tremendously difficult journey a little easier. Bless you all. Sending you all much love and light and always." Fans have been sending their best wishes and support. One said: "All my love, support and prayers to Dave, and please stay on your road to recovery, Cici." Another shared: "Deepest heartfelt prayers for Dave, praying for a miracle." A third person contributed: "Hi Cici. This is such sad news. Our thoughts are with you in such trying times." The musician is best known or his 1970 Christmas No. 1 hit I Hear You Knocking, which sold three million copies and climbed to number four in America. He enjoyed numerous chart successes during the 1970s and early 1980s with songs such as Slipping Away, The Promised Land and Girls Talk. Dave established Love Sculpture, releasing their first single in 1968, before pursuing a solo career and collaborating with notable artists including Sir Paul McCartney and Nick Lowe. Dave wed his Swedish wife Cici in 1983, and the couple now live in their home Monmouth.

EastEnders star confirms more trouble for Oscar as he gets set to flee
There may be trouble ahead… (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) EastEnders favourite Pierre Moullier has revealed there's more drama ahead for Oscar Branning as the character gets set to flee Albert Square. Viewers of the BBC One soap have seen Oscar experience a number of run-ins with thuggish associate Fat Mike (Tai Hilferink) over recent weeks, from threatening text messages to being beaten up and threatened with a knife. The situation has made Oscar increasingly more paranoid, so much so that he launched an attack on his sister Lauren's (Jacqueline Jossa) fiancé Peter Beale (Thomas Law). Desperate to find a resolution, he has to act fast next week when Mike demands £5k in exchange for the Branning family's protection. 'To me, this situation with Mike is like a multi-choice game, and Oscar always chooses the worst option,' actor Pierre told us. 'He should be going for option A and asking Jack [Branning, (Scott Maslen)] for help, but instead, he thinks he can make Option B work and find the money himself. 'Oscar seems to believe that all he needs is the time to get his hands on the money.' Mike demands 5k out of Oscar (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) He steals the money from Patrick (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) After discovering that Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) has struck lucky at the betting shop – bagging himself a whopping £6k – it seems to be the answer to his prayers. Pierre continued: 'This is the last thing he wants to do, but he's deeply concerned by Mike and feeling quite alone in this. 'In his head, he thinks that Patrick wasn't expecting to have this money, so it won't hurt him if Oscar takes it. In the heat of the moment, Patrick is sent tumbling to the floor (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Follow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!

The Chase's Anne Hegerty's huge career change as she stars in horror movie
Anne Hegerty has conquered the quiz world - now she's dipping her toe into the world of horror movies as she reveals her cameo as a UFO spotter in new indie flick Anne Hegerty, quiz queen extraordinaire on The Chase for the past fifteen years, has revealed that one of her burning ambitions would be to do more acting, as she reveals she has recently filmed a very entertaining cameo in a low-budget horror movie. The 67-year-old, who is also known as 'The Governmess' on the quizshow that made her a household name and was diagnosed with autism in her mid-40s – told OK! as she opened up on her role: "I recently filmed a cameo in a very low-budget horror movie. I mean, it's so low budget I've been offered a share in the profits." She added of the recent project: "It's called Deadcast, and it's about a couple of guys who do a podcast about the supernatural. They head off to Lincolnshire to interview people who've had spooky experiences, and end up getting more than they bargained for." As for her quirkly role in the film, she explains: "I play a woman who saw a UFO, put it on the internet and got massively trolled and ended up becoming a recluse. There's a scene where they interview me in my garden and I'm showing them where I saw the UFO. "I say, 'They've been with me my whole life. It doesn't matter where I go, they follow me.' And just at that precise moment, an ice cream van passes playing Teddy Bears' Picnic. It was a lot of fun." The witty TV star confesses she would like to do more acting in future, especially if the role is humorous. "I would love to do a bit of acting. I'd love a chance to do a comedy role. I do love being funny." Anne, who appeared in the I'm A Celebrity jungle in 2018 alongside the likes of Nick Knowles, Emily Atac and Harry Redknapp, says that when it comes to any other reality TV ambitions, she has absolutely no desire to get on her sparkly dress and hit the Strictly dance floor, as fans prepare for the BBC show to return to our screens. Laughing, the straight-talking star, who hails from London but has a flat in Manchester, admits, "God no! My agent tried to get me to do it ages ago, but I couldn't even formulate the words to say, 'I think this is a bloody terrible idea.' I can't dance to save my life. When I'm in panto, you can make me sing a bit but, whatever you do, don't make me dance. Have everyone dance around me, like a maypole.
