Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo has been named as the host of a new version of Family Fortunes for ITV.
The classic game show was a staple of the ITV schedules in the 1980s and '90s, with Les Dennis serving as host for the majority of its run.
Vernon Kay fronted a celebrity version between 2006 and 2014 but D'Acampo's revamp will revert to having members of the public as contestants.
"I am delighted that ITV asked me to be the host that is bringing back Family Fortunes to the British public, following in the footsteps of some legendary presenters," the Italian said in a statement.
"It's a much-beloved show in the USA, and around the world, and I cannot wait to get going and add more laughs to this format."
Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's head of entertainment commissioning, added: "Family Fortunes is one of ITV's best-known gameshows and we can't wait to see Gino host it. He's perfect to put a smile on the faces of a brand-new audience."
The 10-part series is expected to air in a weekly primetime slot this autumn.
