The show will come from Hungry Bear Media, the makers of Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad, which saw the father and son duo embark on a road trip in an ITV series earlier this year.

Walsh, who has hosted game show The Chase since 2009, began his role as a companion to new Time Lord Jodie Whittaker in the most recent series of Doctor Who.

Walsh said: “I’m so excited to be filming this TV special.

“On my guestlist are going to be some big stars, with some fantastic music, funny games and at the heart of it, the great British public, who will hopefully get to win some truly amazing prizes.”

Dan Baldwin, managing director of Hungry Bear Media, said: “We are really excited to be teaming up with Brad again.

“After the huge success of ‘Breaking Dad’ on ITV, we are going to emulate that with this brilliant entertainment show.

“You will see Brad at his very best, entertaining huge A-list stars and the audience, both at home and in the studio.”
