Privacy NoticeComedian Romesh Ranganathan is set to take the helm of ITV’s latest primetime game show, which will be brimming with familiar faces from the celebrity world. The show, dubbed Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening, is a three-part series that pairs celebrities with their offspring or parents in a test of how well they truly know one another. Each episode will feature three celebs vying to win cash for their chosen charities, promising viewers a mix of hearty chuckles and cringeworthy moments. Romesh’s own mother, Shanthi, will join the fun, helping to tally scores and ensure her son stays on track.

Romesh Ranganathan expressed his enthusiasm for the new series, saying: “I am really grateful ITV has given me the chance to host this brand new series. I am less grateful, they also gave the chance to my mother.” The game hinges on the parents’ perceptions of their children’s knowledge, leading to the ultimate question: do they truly know their kids? The show’s synopsis teases: “With a mix of list and picture questions plus buzzer rounds, the grown-up children will need to answer the questions correctly but it’s their parents that will be choosing their questions – putting them in the firing line and gambling on how many they can get right.” “If they meet their parent’s expectations they will get the money, but fall short and the cash is split between the other teams.” Adding a twist to the format, the team with the most cash at the end gets to challenge their parent in a final round, potentially doubling their winnings for charity. Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment, Commissioning at ITV, couldn’t contain her excitement: “In this brand new celebrity game show packed full of laughter and embarrassing revelations, we will see how much these famous parents and kids really know each other.” She added, “With Romesh as host and his mum, Shanthi, keeping him in check too, viewers will be treated to plenty of comedy as well as chances to play along and join in at home.” The air date for Romesh Ranganathan’s Parents’ Evening is still under wraps.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
