Graham Norton to host new ITV Wheel of Fortune episodes

The show will be back on our screens in 2024 with eight new episodes including two celebrity specials.

The classic game show will be available to watch on ITV and ITVX.

It will once again be centred around a giant carnival wheel as the contestants spin to win a life-changing cash prize.

ITV reboots Wheel of Fortune with new host

The turn of the wheel secures a cash value before contestants pick a letter to help them solve the puzzle.

For every correct letter they reveal in the puzzle, they win multiples of that amount.

Contestants could lose everything on a spin of the wheel which contains “bankrupts” and “lose a turn”.

As well as cash, there will be other prizes added to the pot to help them reach the bonus round. 

Everything is up for grabs but only one contestant will get the chance to add big money to their cash pot and see if they can take it home.

Graham Norton is 'beyond excited' to bring the game show back to ITV

Norton said: “I’m beyond excited to be bringing such an iconic American show to a new British audience.

“My first ever TV job was a game show on ITV so this feels like coming full circle. You might even call it a wheel!”

The show last aired on ITV in 2001 with Paul Hendy as host.

John Leslie, Bradley Walsh and Nicky Campbell are all among previous hosts of the show while Angela Ekaette, Carol Smillie, Jenny Powell and Terri Seymour all appeared as “hostesses”, often referred to as “glamorous assistants”.

Wheel of Fortune first launched in the UK in 1988 and was based on the American game show of the same name.

Katie Rawcliffe, head of entertainment commissioning at ITV, said: “We are thrilled to have the much-loved Graham Norton bringing this iconic game show to our viewers.

“Anything can happen on the spin of a wheel, it is going to be so much fun.”
