Classic game show Supermarket Sweep is returning to ITV, with Rylan Clark-Neal presenting the new version.
The former X-Factor star said that it was ‘a dream come true to host one of the most iconic series in television history', adding ‘I am beside myself with excitement and will be going wilder in the aisles than ever before.'
The original Supermarket Sweep ran from 1993 to 2001 on ITV, and as briefly revived in 2007.
Dale Winton hosted both runs of the game show, with the role becoming synonymous with the TV presenter for many years.
Contestants on Supermarket Sweep run around supermarket aisles collecting items, hoping to win a cash prize at the end.
Rylan took to Twitter to share his excitement about his new presenting job, writing: ‘Been waiting a while to say this but it’s finally time to GO WILD IN THE AISLES ONCE AGAIN!’
