Danny Dyer and Emily Atack are set to be ITV's next hosting duo as they 'sign up' to front a brand new game show. 

Bosses at the broadcaster have reportedly brought in the pair in a bid to 'freshen up their entertainment talent'.

An insider told The Sun: 'Bosses have been impressed with Danny and Emily's charisma on Rivals and thought they'd make an amazing duo on-screen to freshen up their entertainment talent.

'They're an unlikely pair but have appeared on a few panel shows together and have plenty of fun energy that is perfect for the tone that ITV want to set.

'Producers are keen to trial new presenting partnerships to get people talking, and both Emily and Danny have huge appeal.' 

The publication reports they're set to receive a whopping £250,000 each, with the show expected to air next year.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Danny, 47, and Emily, 35. 

The pair have been busy so far this year filming the second series of the smash-hit series, based on the racy books of Dame Jilly Cooper.

Danny, who played pub landlord Mick Carter in EastEnders for almost a decade, is no stranger to game shows.

The hardman previously hosted The Wall for the BBC, which ran for three series before ending in 2022 when Danny left EastEnders and the BBC.

Mum-of-one Emily starred as a team captain on now-axed CelebJuice with Keith Lemon and Laura Whitmore.

Meanwhile, Danny recently revealed his bizarre diet hack to keep the weight off.

He admitted that while he does find his hack effective, it does become a 'struggle.'

Speaking to Louis Theroux on his podcast, Danny explained: 'I want to build up to not eating anything on Monday.

'I fast in the day just to keep the weight off. I feel like if you fast, it's good for your body as well.

'But it’s a struggle. Mondays are s**te anyway.

'So you know you got to look forward to your dinner on a Monday. But I do fast during the day until the afternoon.'

Danny added: 'Just liquids so your body can start to eat itself. You've got to drink plenty of water while you're doing it and it does work.'
