A BRADFORD-born TV presenter is set to front the spin-off of a popular TV quiz show which starts next week.

Anita Rani has been announced as the presenter of 'Fastest Finger First', based on ITV's 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'.

Fastest Finger First will be based on the section of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire where six contestants have to answer a multiple-choice question in a specific order.

In the daytime spin-off show, on each episode five contestants go head-to-head answering questions to win a chance of a guaranteed place on the new series of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, which is hosted by Jeremy Clarkson and the chance to play for one million pounds.

A 30-second-long trailer has been released ahead of the show’s opening episode.

In the trailer, Anita says: “It’s not just about being correct, it’s about being the fastest.”

Journalist and broadcaster Rani has appeared on several BBC TV and radio programmes, including Watchdog, BBC Young Dancer, Who Do You Think You Are? and Strictly Come Dancing.

She has appeared as a co-presenter on the BBC's Countryfile since 2015.

'Fastest Finger First' will start on ITV on Monday, August 29, from 4.30pm and every day from August 30 to September from 4pm.
