Ryan and Adam Thomas are back on our screens, but this time, they’re swapping soapland for game-show madness.The brothers – Ryan, 40, best known for playing Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street, and Adam, 36, who starred as Adam Barton in Emmerdale – are fronting ITV’s new prime-time show 99 To Beat, and trust us, it’s absolute chaos.

With 100 contestants battling it out in bizarre challenges – think catching a potato on a fork and defrosting frozen T-shirts – the show is fast, unpredictable, and completely hilarious.

The eight-part series starts with 100 players, and viewers will follow as they go head-to-head. After each round, the number of contestants is gradually whittled down, with only one person taking the top prize of £25,000. “It’s stupid, silly, random, competitive, and everything we love,” Ryan tells us.

While the pair have taken on their fair share of reality TV (I’m A Celeb, Strictly, Celebrity Big Brother), hosting is a whole new ball game.
