ITV makes major announcement and it involves Jeremy Clarkson and Ben Shephard
A brand new channel has taken over from ITVBe.
ITV has revealed a major announcement that'll mean a huge change for the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and Ben Shephard.
Just weeks after it was confirmed that ITVBe would be shutting down and shows like The Only Way is Essex and The Real Housewives of Cheshire would move over to ITV2, a new channel will be launching in its place.
The broadcaster has now revealed ITV Quiz, a dedicated channel bringing brain-teasing entertainment to viewers, will be available from 9am to 1am every single day.
In recent years, ITV has brought back several new gameshow formats with celebrities at the helm, including David Tennant's Genius Game, Stephen Mangan's twist on The Traitors titled The Fortune Hotel, Lee Mack's The 1% Club, and Adam and Ryan Thomas' 99 To Beat.
The broadcaster has also brought old favourites back to life, including the You Bet! Revival and Deal or No Deal with Stephen Mangan.
ITV Quiz's launch month this June will also show off award-winning formats like Lingo, Tipping Point, Wheel of Fortune, Tenable and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Coronation Street to welcome new family who will run Rovers Return
Catherine Tyldesley's character Eva Price, who was last seen on the show in 2018, will return alongside her latest partner and his mother, who are both new to the cobbles. Shameless actor Aaron McCusker stars as Eva's partner Ben Driscoll, with Father Ted's Pauline McLynn playing his interfering mother Maggie. Ben's two sons and Eva's daughter Suzie will also be joining the cast. Residents will discover that Eva and Ben are the new landlords in October, more than seven years after Eva stopped pulling pints to start a new life in France with her daughter. Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: 'We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. 'The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees ups galore. To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline's considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can't wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. 'Strap yourselves in, it's going to be an exciting and eventful ride.' A host of stars have left the British soap this year including Sue Cleaver, who spent 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw. Among the others who have left are Colson Smith, who played Craig Tinker on the ITV soap opera, and Luca Toolan, who played Mason Radcliffe.

Katie Price left feeling 'isolated and disregarded amid growing rift with daughter Princess and admits she feels like Brooklyn Beckham'
Katie Price has reportedly been left feeling 'isolated and disregarded' amid a growing rift with her daughter Princess. The former glamour model, 46, was banned from appearing on the 18-year-olds fly-on-the-wall ITV television series which aired this week. And now The Sun had revealed their relationship is strained after Princess was told to distance herself from Katie. The star has reportedly even gone as far as to liken her feeling with those of Brooklyn Beckham amid the bitter feud between himself and wife Nicola Peltz and the rest of his family. A source told the publication: 'Katie feels isolated and disregarded. She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming.' The TV star was hoping to help Princess in her budding TV career and support her in her journey to fame, however ITV2 executives have reportedly made it clear they don't want Katie involved. They continued: 'Princess told her mum that she needed to distance herself publicly and yet chats to her all the time behind closed doors.' Amid the personal/professional divide forming in their relationship they added: 'She feels a bit like Brooklyn Beckham, with no one in the Andre family really speaking to her.' Daily Mail have contacted Katie and Princess' representatives for comment. Katie previously hit out on Instagram after she was banned from her daughter Princess' 18th birthday celebrations. One post showed a sky full of pink clouds with words reading 'I love my daughters' while another read 'my daughters will always be my little princesses' written in the sand. Daily Mail revealed that Katie was unable to attend Princess' celebrations because the event was being filmed for her forthcoming fly-on-the-wall ITV television series - which Katie has been banned from appearing on. Katie also had an awkward gaffe after she was forced to delete her 18th birthday tribute to Princess on Friday - having shared it 48 hours too early. Princess' television show focuses on her home life with her father Peter, his wife Emily and big brother Junior, as well as her career as an influencer, and is being made by Pete's management company, Can Associates. The star has reportedly even gone as far as to liken her feeling with those of Brooklyn Beckham amid the bitter feud between himself and wife Nicola Peltz and the rest of his family Meanwhile Princess has revealed she 'wished she had a happier childhood' as she opened up about the 'dark times' she faced while growing up in her documentary The firm memorably looked after Katie when she was with Pete from 2003 until 2009, the year they sensationally split. But this week, Katie blasted 'people who used to look after me', believed to be referring to Peter Andre 's management company, on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast. Katie said: 'Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.' Sophie said: 'I noticed in her 18th birthday pictures she was wearing the shoes you bought her for Christmas,' with Katie replying: 'Oh did she? I love that.' Katie added: 'Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.' Meanwhile Princess has revealed she 'wished she had a happier childhood' as she opened up about the 'dark times' she faced while growing up in her documentary. The rising star addressed the traumatic memories during her childhood, including her mum's high-profile breakups. She candidly admitted: 'I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. 'But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. 'I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age.'

Gary Lineker 'signs HUGE ITV deal to host new celebrity game show' - after leaving the BBC and Match Of The Day following anti-semitism row
Gary Lineker has reportedly signed a huge deal with ITV to host a brand new celebrity game show - after leaving the BBC earlier this year following an anti-semitism row. The former Match Of The Day presenter, 64, is thought to be returning to Saturday night TV for a new show called The Box. Touted as a replacement for Ant and Dec 's Saturday Night Takeaway, The Box's format sees 12 celebrities all put in a different box where they have to face a terrifying challenge. Already a show in Norway, The Sun reports it has been dubbed as a cross between I'm A Celebrity and SAS: Who Dares Wins. A source told the publication: 'The Box is massive in Norway, and the rights were quickly sold to Denmark and now the UK. ' ITV are really excited about it - and believe they have finally found a worthy successor to Saturday Night Takeaway. '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.' The source added that filming will take place in the autumn and it will air in early spring, likely with a Saturday night slot. Gary and ITV have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Back in May Gary welled up as he delivered his final Match of the Day speech, thanking viewers for their 'love and support' and sending a message to his successors. The presenter was visibly moved by a seven-minute tribute featuring the likes of Pep Guardiola, Virgil van Dijk, Ian Wright, and even Andrea Bocelli. Lineker hosted his final BBC show and hinted at the start that it 'wasn't meant to end this way' after being axed amid an antisemitism row. He was axed after sharing a pro-Palestine Instagram video which featured an emoji of a rat, with critics accusing him of promoting a familiar anti-Semitic slur. He later apologised. At the end of his last show, wrapping up his £1.4million gig, he paid tribute to the wider team, saying: 'Let me take the opportunity to thank all the other pundits I've had the pleasure of working with over the last 25 years. Touted as a replacement for Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway (seen), The Box's format sees 12 celebrities all put in a different box where they have to face a terrifying challenge 'You've made my job so much easier. 'It's been an absolute privilege to host Match of the Day for a quarter of a century. 'It's been utterly joyous. 'I'd like to wish Gabby (Logan), Mark (Chapman), and Kelly (Cates) all the best when they sit in the chair. 'The programme is in the best of hands. 'My final thank you goes to all of you. Thank you for watching. Thank you for all your love and support over the years. It's been so special. I'm sorry that your team was always on last. Time to say goodbye.' Lineker confirmed his departure from the corporation earlier that month. He 'apologised unreservedly' for his actions, saying he was unaware of the meaning of the symbol and added: 'I would never consciously repost anything anti-Semitic – it goes against everything I stand for'. He said that stepping down from his role with the BBC - where he was once the highest paid star - was 'the responsible course of action'.
