    Lovers of classic game shows will be pleasantly surprised now that it has been unveiled that Irish comedian and TV personality Graham Norton will host Wheel of Fortune next year.

    Graham Norton to host reboot of classic TV show.

    The classic game show Wheel of Fortune, which initially aired in the USA in 1975 before reaching UK screens in 1988, is due to be revived by none other than Kildare TV personality Graham Norton.

    The much-loved show, last aired on UK television in 2001, is set to bring the family together once again for nostalgia and classic entertainment.

    Here’s all you need to know.

    While the nation goes wild knowing their beloved show will return to screens by 2024, no one is more excited than the forthcoming host, who has been reported to say he is “beyond excited” to revive this “iconic” TV game show.

    Norton said it was the perfect opportunity since his first TV job was as a game show host for ITV, which paved the way for his successful career.

    “My first ever TV job was a game show on ITV, so this feels like coming full circle,” said Norton. “You might even call it a wheel!”.

    Many will agree that there is nothing like gathering around the TV with family, playing along with the contestants, and those who were fans of the classic game show will be delighted to join in again.

    Wheel of Fortune is an iconic game of wheel spinning and cash prizes, which sees contestants compete to secure substantial funds.

    What makes this game so unique in the eyes of the nation is that it features a colossal carnival wheel that captivates players and audiences as they spin to win the big bucks.

    Previous hosts of the iconic show include Nicky Campbell, the show’s first host. Campbell was followed by Bradley Walsh, John Leslie, and Paul Hendy. Meanwhile, Angela Ekaette, Carol Smillie, Jenny Powell, and Terri Seymour were featured as fabulous assistants.

    Everything you need to know – an unmissable revival

    The much-anticipated show is due to air for eight exciting and fun-filled episodes, including two very special celebrity episodes.

    The game show is due to return to ITV in 2024, and ITV’s head of entertainment commissioning, Katie Rawcliffe, expressed her pleasure with the new host choice: “We are thrilled to have the much-loved Graham Norton bringing this iconic game show to our viewers.

    “Anything can happen on the spin of a wheel; it is going to be so much fun”.

    The much-anticipated show is due to air for eight exciting and fun-filled episodes, including two very special celebrity episodes, details of which are yet to be unveiled.

    The nation is excited that the former judge of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK, and host of The Graham Norton Show and Eurovision is set to add another exciting addition to his already incredible list of accomplishments.

    This is one show you won’t want to miss!
