Gordon Ramsay’s Bank Balance: How does the chef’s new quiz show work?
GORDON Ramsay's new quiz show started this week.
It's a step away from his usual chef related shows.
How does Gordon Ramsay's Bank Balance work?
Gordon Ramsay hosts Bank Balance, a new show focused on winning gold bars to take home money.
Contestants will play in pairs and place different sized gold bars on a balancing board by answering questions.
They'll get a chance to pick the categories for which they answer questions on.
The more bars they can successfully balance, the more chance they have of taking a big sum home - but the more bars added to the board, the more unstable it becomes.
If all the bars are lost, contestants will leave without any cash prizes.
The most contestants can win is a whopping £100,000.
The BBC say contestants will be tested on "poise, precision, knowledge and nerve".
Speaking to the RadioTimes, Gordan said he became hooked on the board game version of Bank Balance which made him want to host the show.
“As lockdown began to ease and as we [Studio Ramsay] started pitching the idea to the networks, I realised I was so invested in the b****y game that I couldn’t just step away and let someone else host it."
He has also said: "This is going to be truly epic. It is such an intense game with so much jeopardy to win big and lose even bigger, where the difference between failure and success is always in the balance.
"I’m so happy to be working with the fantastic team at the BBC and cannot wait to get in the studio and start stacking those gold bars!"
Bank Balance was filmed using social distancing and contestants are from the same household or support bubble.
