ITV audiences on the hunt for their next binge-worthy show should tune in tonight (Saturday 23 May), as a fresh quiz programme makes its debut.
Nobody’s Fool, fronted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, showcases ten participants battling it out in a tactical quiz format with a major twist.
In this series, contestants’ fates aren’t sealed by their own knowledge, but by how intelligent their rivals perceive them to be.
During the show, players are tasked with working out who amongst them is the most vulnerable and voting them off in a cut-throat turn of events.
A teaser reveals: “With quizzes played in secret, preconceptions, prejudices and first impressions start to come into play, with snap judgements and misdirection keeping the contestants, and viewers, guessing.”, reports Wales Online.

“As each of the contestants sets out to prove their worth and value to the rest of the group, can the players suss out who is a genuine asset and who is simply faking it in a bid to stay in the game? And can a blagger with a plan ever beat a genius without one?”
Presenter Danny Dyer shared his thoughts on the fresh format: “This is a blinder of a game show and unlike anything I’ve seen before. Emily and I had a brilliant time making it and much like the audience at home will be, we were kept guessing right until the very end.”
Co-host Emily Atack said: “It’s so exciting to be part of something this new and fresh. The chance to work with Danny again was a no brainer for me. We had such a laugh. Can’t wait for everyone to watch, it’s an absolute must see.”
Before the programme debuts, here’s all you need to know about the quiz show, including details on its 10 participants.
