Vernon Kay has been announced as the host of a new ITV gameshow which will follow contestants as they try to uncover the secret talents of the public for a chance to win a cash prize.

In each episode of Game of Talents, contestants will pair with a celebrity and they will try to guess the hidden talent of eight mystery performers based on "appearance" and "intriguing clues".

Speaking about the upcoming primetime show, Kay who hasn't worked with ITV in five years, said: "We're lining up some amazing performers whose skills are both jaw-droppingly brilliant and at times surreal.

"I can’t wait for viewers to play along at home and try to guess who has which hidden talent. Prepare to be shocked and amazed in equal measure."

The format, which was devised by production company Fremantle, was first launched in Spain, where it is now entering its third season.

It will be produced by Thames, which also makes Britain’s Got Talent and The Greatest Dancer, in the UK.

The seven hour-long episodes of Game of Talents are due to air on ITV this year.
