Going from the kitchen to kerching, Gordon Ramsay has confirmed he has landed a new role as a game show host.
The TV chef will front a new series called Bank Balance, which will air in a primetime slot on BBC One.
He said: "This is going to be truly epic. It is such an intense game with so much jeopardy to win big and lose even bigger, where the difference between failure and success is always in the balance.
"I'm so happy to be working with the fantastic team at the BBC and cannot wait to get in the studio and start stacking those gold bars!"
The 53-year-old has been a television staple for more than 20 years - but this is quite a bold move for him, as his career has always been about cooking rather than cash.
The BBC's controller of entertainment commissioning, Kate Phillips, said the star "will be a formidable and unforgettable host".
Programme makers said contestants on the "high-stakes" and "high-pressure" show, which has no link to food, can "build themselves a fortune, or see it come crashing down in an instant".
The show has been created and will be produced by the chef's own production company, Studio Ramsay.
Ramsay is also preparing another, previously announced, new BBC show.
Potential food and drink entrepreneurs will be put "through hell" in Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars.
The winner will get the star's financial backing to get their idea off the ground.
