Iain will appear on the first episode of the brand new series of Michael McIntyre's The Wheel.

During the episode comedian Michael, 48, welcomes contestant Karen to the game.

Her chosen topic is the Six Nations but she's faced with picking a celebrity to 'shut down' who she feels won't help her with the round.

After shutting down Iain, the dad-of-one told her: "You sound like my wife Karen."

The star added: "It would be an honour to be shut down by you Karen."

The Wheel, now in its fourth series, sees a group of famous faces help ordinary contestants answer questions on a particular topic.

However, with the unpredictable nature of The Wheel, the celebrity may not always get the subject they are an expert in.

Hopefuls have the chance to win over £200,000, all while strapped into a giant rotating wheel.

Stars such as This Morning's Dermot O'Leary, British athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill and The One Show's Roman Kemp are all set to appear on the new run.

Along with Gladiators, Michael has helped bring BBC One to the top of the ratings battles with the latest series of Big Show and bosses will be hoping he can replicate this success once again.
