Gary Lineker ‘signs massive deal’ with ITV to host new show

Big news.

These fresh reports of Lineker's new deal come just three months after the England legend was forced to stand down from the BBC following accusations of anti-Semitism.

It's been compared to a crossover between Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and SAS: Who Dares Wins.

The Box, which is a huge hit in Norway, sees a dozen celebs placed into a dozen boxes with each of them forced to carry out daring challenges.

“They have long been sniffing around Gary and just needed to find the right format for him.

“They’re confident they’ve found that now, and the BBC’s loss is their gain.”

“It looks likely to get a Saturday night slot though, but obviously it’s all still to play for.”
