Applications open for The Wheel of Fortune
News: Applications have opened for itv’s reboot of The Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Graham Norton.
Fans have a while to apply, with the deadline not until 2nd November 2023.
A new eight part series will film early next year for transmission in the Spring. In the programme, the turn of the wheel secures a cash value before they pick a letter to help them solve the puzzle. For every correct letter they reveal in the puzzle they win multiples of that amount. The pressure is on as they could lose everything at a spin of a wheel which contains ‘bankrupts’ and ‘lose a turn’ and the contestants' entire winnings could be wiped out.

In addition to cash, they can also win some impressive prizes which are added to their cash pot to help them reach the bonus round. Everything is up for grabs but only one lucky contestant will get the chance to add big money to their cash pot and see if they can take it home.
Graham Norton said: “I’m beyond excited to be bringing such an iconic American show to a new British audience. My first ever TV job was a game show on ITV so this feels like coming full circle. You might even call it a wheel!”
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning, ITV said: “We are thrilled to have the much loved Graham Norton bringing this iconic game show to our viewers. Anything can happen on the spin of a wheel, it is going to be so much fun.”
The Wheel Of Fortune was a hit in the 90’s on itv when it was presented by Nicky Campbell. Whilst it’s been off air here for years, the U.S version continues to remain popular.
Applications to take part in the new itv series are open here.
