Ross Kemp returning to host Bridge of Lies season 2

Ross Kemp will return to host ‘Bridge of Lies’ season two.

The BBC game show, which debuted in 2021, will once again be putting contestants through their paces by testing their knowledge.

Ross, 58, said: “I felt sure we hadn’t seen the last of that formidable bridge! Hosting this show, with all its jeopardy, tension and hilarious moments, was one of the most enjoyable parts of my year and I’m delighted that it’s been recommissioned by the BBC.

“The Bridge of Lies is tailor-made for a celeb version so I’m looking forward to putting teams of famous faces to the test. My main tip for them? No matter who you are or what you do, the bridge makes allowances for no one!”

The show sees a team of contestants battle it out for prize money by crossing a bridge made from stepping stones.

Players must get from A to B by stepping on the truths while avoiding the lies or risk falling through the bridge and walking away empty handed.

The show, which has been commissioned for BBC One Daytime, will also feature a celebrity special that’s set to air in early 2023, with regular episodes to follow later in 2023.

BBC Commissioning Director Kate Phillips added: “'Bridge of Lies' was a big hit with Daytime audiences, so to bring it back for a second series and commission a primetime version is very exciting.

"I’m really looking forward to seeing our competitive celebrities deal with the pressure of the bridge and the pressure of being in the funny and formidable company of Ross, our superb host.”
