Danny Dyer and Emily Atack sign up for 'big money TV gameshow' on ITV after starring together on hit Disney+ series Rivals
Danny Dyer and Emily Atack are set to be ITV's next hosting duo as they 'sign up' to front a brand new game show.
Bosses at the broadcaster have reportedly brought in the pair in a bid to 'freshen up their entertainment talent'.
An insider told The Sun: 'Bosses have been impressed with Danny and Emily's charisma on Rivals and thought they'd make an amazing duo on-screen to freshen up their entertainment talent.
'They're an unlikely pair but have appeared on a few panel shows together and have plenty of fun energy that is perfect for the tone that ITV want to set.
'Producers are keen to trial new presenting partnerships to get people talking, and both Emily and Danny have huge appeal.'
The publication reports they're set to receive a whopping £250,000 each, with the show expected to air next year.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Danny, 47, and Emily, 35.
The pair have been busy so far this year filming the second series of the smash-hit series, based on the racy books of Dame Jilly Cooper.
Danny, who played pub landlord Mick Carter in EastEnders for almost a decade, is no stranger to game shows.
The hardman previously hosted The Wall for the BBC, which ran for three series before ending in 2022 when Danny left EastEnders and the BBC.
Mum-of-one Emily starred as a team captain on now-axed CelebJuice with Keith Lemon and Laura Whitmore.
Meanwhile, Danny recently revealed his bizarre diet hack to keep the weight off.
He admitted that while he does find his hack effective, it does become a 'struggle.'
Speaking to Louis Theroux on his podcast, Danny explained: 'I want to build up to not eating anything on Monday.
'I fast in the day just to keep the weight off. I feel like if you fast, it's good for your body as well.
'But it's a struggle. Mondays are s**te anyway.
'So you know you got to look forward to your dinner on a Monday. But I do fast during the day until the afternoon.'
Danny added: 'Just liquids so your body can start to eat itself. You've got to drink plenty of water while you're doing it and it does work.'

While the eyes of the world may be on Glastonbury, the music has not stopped in our city, with Bristol Sounds welcoming large crowds to the harbourside this Unleashed 3 is almost here, and there is a glamorous new show at Bristol Old of music, there was a special Loyle Carner gig at the O2 academy on Wednesday night, and a Bristol orchestra has been given an award. Tuned in: Bristol Sounds has seen Supergrass, Kaiser Chiefs, Texas and Fratellis play on the harbourside. The annual week of concerts comes to an end with Olly Murs later. One more sleep: The 53 sculptures which will form the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail will be in place across the city on Monday. Aardman's Nick Park joined dozens of local school pupils to celebrate the imminent launch at an event on the Harbourside on Wednesday. "It's just going to light up Bristol for the summer," he said. Framed: Bristol Museum and Art Gallery staff took an empty frame up to the gorge to recreate the scene painted by JMW Turner when he was just 17 in 1792. A fundraising campaign is under way to raise the money needed to bring the artwork back to its home city. Midweek music: Loyle Carner performed a gig at the O2 Academy on Wednesday to O2 and Virgin Media customers. Here today, gone tomorrow: Bristol City Council says it will be removing the many "love locks" from Pero's Bridge before the harbour festival, saying they collectively weigh an estimated three tonnes. Sparkling: The family of Henry Cyril Paget, one of the world's wealthiest men, tried to destroy all traces of him after he died, erasing his diamond frocks, lilac-dyed poodles and unsuccessful plays from history. Luckily the show How to Win Against History, on at Bristol Old Vic until mid July, has revived his outrageous life story. Pilton pilgrims: Bristol feels the presence of the Glastonbury Festival, whether it be the many traders from the city who set up there, or the queue (above) to get the bus down to Pilton.

The group was set up to be a welcoming place for asylum seekers and refugees, using music as a way of connecting people.

One team: Finance software company Xledger has announced it will once again support Bristol Bears Women as main and also front-of-shirt sponsor. It extends a relationship with Bristol Sport going back to 2019. Medical skills: A team of Ukrainian doctors has been visiting the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children this month, learning skills they can take back and use in their home country to help child victims of the ongoing conflict. Award winners: Bristol's St Peter's Hospice was named Outstanding Charity Retailer at the 2025 Charity Retail Association Awards. The hospice, which operates more than 40 shops across the city and wider area, was recognised for its strong community engagement and sustainable practices. It was all yellow: Pedestrians and cyclists have been celebrating as the crossing known as the Banana Bridge has reopened after more than £1.4m in repairs (and a nice new paint job).
