Adam and Ryan Thomas will host ITV’s new game show 99 To Beat…
Since starring in ITV soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street, Adam and Ryan Thomas have gone on to appear in a string of the biggest entertainment formats including ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice, winning public affection and cementing themselves as lovable television personalities.
In their first presenting role together, Adam and Ryan will preside over all of the nail-biting action, offering playful commentary while guiding the 100 contestants through the experience as they go head-to-head in a range of simple, quirky and often hilarious games.
99 to Beat is the game show that anyone can win, but there’s one rule players must follow if they’re to be in with a chance of walking away with the cash prize – Don’t. Come. Last. As contestants battle it out against each other, each round will see the number of players whittled down until one person takes the top prize.
Casting for the series is open now. Producers are looking for fantastic characters aged between 18 and 80 from all walks of life, and with a range of experiences who have one thing in common – they don’t like to lose. Anyone who thinks they might have what it takes can apply on the ITV.com website.
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning ITV:
“With their infectious laughs and undeniable warmth, I couldn’t think of anyone more befitting than Adam and Ryan Thomas to front this exciting new series. With them at the helm, 99 to Beat is sure to be a supremely entertaining watch.”
