The BBC has launched a new quiz programme, Do You Know Your Place?, which premiered on Monday 23 February. The show is hosted by Vernon Kay, with The Traitors star Paul Gorton co-hosting.
Paul Gorton revealed that he was initially booked as a guest for the show, but when the original host for his segment pulled out at the last minute, he was offered the co-hosting role. He explained, 'The host pulled out... instead of finding someone, let's see if Paul wants to have a go.'
The series features Paul conducting an 'unreliable' UK tour of different locations each day, with three celebrity contestants competing to distinguish incredible facts from falsehoods. Celebrities taking part include EastEnders star Nitin Ganatra, the Reverend Kate Bottley, Gladiator 'Apollo' Alex Gray, Anneka Rice, Susan Calman, Owain Wyn Evans and Max Fosh.
Alongside Paul's tours, Vernon challenges the celebrities with in-studio games inspired by the day's location. The contestant with the most points wins the episode and a souvenir from Paul's travels. Points accumulate over five days, and the overall winner receives an 'I Know My Place' sweatshirt.
Do You Know Your Place? airs on BBC Two, weekdays at 6.30pm.
