The This Morning star will team up with another familiar face from ITV

Holly Willoughby has announced she is set to host a new primetime show on the BBC with Bradley Walsh.

Take Off with Bradley and Holly starts this Saturday at 6pm on BBC One – when contestants will compete to win the trip of a lifetime.

The show originally aired as a Christmas special in 2019 – but Holly announced on her Instagram today that Take Off is now set for a full run.

The This Morning host is currently on a summer break from the popular ITV show but she took time out from her holiday to post a trailer for her new show.

The caption said: Morning! How are you?… just got sent this through of my new show with @bradderswalsh it’s called Take off… it starts this Saturday at 6pm on @bbc … So much fun was had filming this one and working with a total genius/wally … #wallywalsh #takeoff #holiday”

The new show promises to include ‘hilarious games, celebrity surprises, inspirational stories and plenty of in-flight entertainment’ – and this season’s curtain raiser will see the teams compete for luxury holidays to Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

BBC’s Entertainment Commissioner Kate Phillips said she cannot wait to see the new show hosted by Holly and the star of The Chase.

She said: “I’m so pleased that Brad and Holly will be returning to BBC One with more Take Off. With memorable, play along games and our hosts’ infectious energy, Take Off will give everyone a lift.”

Fans responded to the post to say how excited they are to see the new partnership.

One user posted: “Definitely the dream team”

Another added: “ITVs Dream team @ The BBC!!!!! Whatever next”

A third commented: “Looks good. Good double act you two. Well worth a watch”

Others posted to say that they hope this doesn’t mean the end of Holly’s popular double act with This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.
