Slightly surprised. Although I did read a rumour saying it's going to be US teams vs UK trams and that it will be for ITV in the UK and Disney in the states.

Laura Hamilton from Dancing on Ice will host.

Didely Squit!
Good choice as it's a kids version and she's already known to that audience - I'm guessing that she'll be better than Jodie Penfold but probably not as good as Melinda Messenger. I'm looking forward to seeing how they format the show - will it be an hour and will they follow the new French format?

I think it will almost certainly be an hour and I think the belief is it will be a UK vs US affair.

They're recording 20 episodes by the way. Which I think is the same as what Challenge did.

Picture from Laura on Twitter.

Still looks the same as I remember it. Laughing

Also her Twitter does confirm it's being filmed for ITV.
