Britain's Brightest Celebrity Family - Season 1

Britain's Brightest Celebrity Family - Season 1

Season 1

Quizzing titan Anne Hegerty (The Chase) is back hosting a brand new series of ITV's hit quiz show Britain's Brightest Family – but this time, it's well-known celebrities and their families who'll be battling it out for the title. 

And for the winning famous family, there's a whopping £25,000 prize for their chosen charity up for grabs. 

Two brand new rounds have been added to this celebrity spin on the format – including an ‘Observation' round featuring fun, cartoon images of Anne that put their memories to the test. Plus, there's an ‘Identify' round where members of each team must race against the clock to physically sort two piles of answers into their correct categories. Can they tell their cheeses from their Italian composers? Their birds from their Roald Dahl characters?

Filmed before lockdown, the heats include a soap special as Shaun Williamson and family take on Lucy Fallon and family in an 'Eastenders v Corrie' contest; a football heat with John Barnes taking on Matt Le Tissier with both their families in tow; a reality TV special featuring Scarlett Moffatt vs Curtis Pritchard and their families and a TV Experts heat with Dr Ranj Singh and his relatives taking on the Llewelyn–Bowens.  

The winners of the heats are put to the test in two semi-finals, before the grand final, where the winning family will take home that £25,000 for their chosen charity.

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
