Speaking about the revival, Mulhern, who is known for presenting Britain’s Got Talent spin-off Britain’s Got More Talent and Catchphrase, said: “Wow what an opportunity, I’m beyond excited to be hosting the brand-new series. “I’ve always been such a huge fan of the show, so much so, I’ve been practising at home with small cereal boxes! “It looks so simple but it’s an incredibly compelling game for both those playing and the viewers watching at home. “It’s one of the greatest shows of all time and to be the new host is an honour. “I can’t wait to get started.” The show will see a contestants faced with 22 sealed boxes, each one hiding a different amount of money.

Unaware of the amount of money in each box, the contestant must eliminate the boxes, which are opened one at a time to reveal how much money is inside.
