Glitzy new ITV show

Jason Manford is to star in a new prime-time panel show alongside Peter Andre and Bradley Walsh.

The comic will head one team of celebrities in the ITV1 show Odd One In, with Jordan’s ex captaining the other.

According to the broadcaster’s blurb, the teams will be ‘bombarded’ with a barrage of ‘hilarious and unusual’ line-ups, each containing a person with a special skill, odd job, or an astonishing secret . The celebrities have to guess which.

Eight 45-minute shows are being recorded in front of a studio audience, who get to play along on electronic keypads, later this month.

Loose Women panellist Lisa Maxwell and One Show reporter Angelica Bell are the guests on the first programme.

Although a long-standing team captain on Channel 4’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Manford’s last stint as a panel-show captain was opposite Fern Britton on BBC One’s short-lived Saturday-night quiz As Seen on TV.
