Rob Beckett is to host a new BBC game show called ‘Revolver’.
The 34-year-old presenter is to take the helm of the programme, which will see contestants play for a £100,000 cast prize by answering general knowledge questions before spinning a wheel to win.
But in a twist, if their cash total goes under or over the target, even by just one pound, they lose everything.
And bosses hope the programme, which is being made by 12 Yard Productions and has been compared to popular game show ‘Wheel of Fortune’, will quickly become a "classic" early evening entertainment staple.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "This new game show, ‘Revolver’, with Rob at the helm is primed to be a nail-biting tea-time classic.
"Like the ‘Wheel Of Fortune’, every spin leads to more cash in the pot, but even those all set to win a fortune after answering questions correctly could lose."
Rob – who is the second youngest of five brothers – recently admitted his family are determined for him not to become a "show business d**k" so rarely ever ask about his work.
He said: "The level they go to in order to keep my feet on the ground is actually quite rude.
"It’s really odd how much they don’t talk about my job. If I worked at Sainsbury’s they’d ask me more about my work.
"They almost go out of their way to not turn me into some sort of show business d**k, and it’s not spoken about. They’re all proud, though, don’t get me wrong.
"My mum always likes to have a go, ‘If you could get a degree in annoying… you’d have a degree in annoying.’ Thanks mum. If she could get a degree in analogies. I don’t think she’d get one."
