As Olympics fever starts to sweep the world, Michael McIntyre is delighted to be putting a sporting spin on his latest Saturday night smash hit, The Wheel.
The BBC1 game show, which made its debut last November, sees contestants try to answer their way to a fortune with the help of celebrities who are strapped to the circumference of the titular wheel.
Each famous face has a specialist subject, and, in a twist for three episodes, there will be an Olympic star on the rota to celebrate the Tokyo 2020 Games.
First up is Clare Balding, who has presented live coverage from six Olympic Games, including London 2012, five Paralympic Games and five Winter Olympic Games.
Here, sports fan Michael, 45, tells us what to expect…
How would you describe The Wheel for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet?
It’s a very funny and dramatic game show. Seven celebrities sit around an enormous spinning wheel with a contestant in the middle. Each expert brings with them a category they are – or feel they are! – an expert in.
