ITV viewers looking for their next game show need look no further as brand new quiz show, Nobody's Fool, is starting tonight (Saturday 23 May).

Nobody's Fool, which is hosted by Danny Dyer and Emily Atack, sees ten contestants take part in the strategic quiz show with a big twist.

In the programme, the fate of the contestants isn't decided by how smart they are but rather how smart their fellow contestants think they are.

During the quiz show, players must determine who is the weakest amongst them and eliminate them in a brutal twist.

Host Danny said of the new series: "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."

Meanwhile co-host Emily added: "Its 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. Cant wait for everyone to watch, its an absolute must see."

As Emily hosts the new show, as well as appearing on hit series Rivals as Sarah Stratton, where Danny also appears as Freddie Jones, she is not the only famous member in her family.

Emily's mum is fellow actress Kate Robbins. Kate, 67, is not only a renowned actress but also soared to number two on the UK charts in the 80s with her hit 'More Than in Love'. Kate has graced the screen in iconic shows such as Spitting Image, After Life, and EastEnders.

Meanwhile, Emily's aunty is none other than Amy Robbins, who plays Christina Boyd on Coronation Street. Christina first joined the ITV soap in 2023 as Daisy Midgeley's mother and has since been part of several explosive storylines.

Despite being on the ITV soap on-off since 2023, Christina has become more regular on the cobbles recently thanks to her romance with George Shuttleworth.

Amy, 54, is also best known for her roles as Dr. Jill Weatherill in The Royal, Stephanie Morelle in World's End, Caren in EastEnders and Defence Barrister Milligan in Emmerdale.

The acting gene runs deep, with Amy's sister Emma also pursuing the craft, and another sibling, Jane, showcasing her versatility as an artist, actress, and musician, even performing as part of the UK's Eurovision group Prima Donna in 1980. These are also Emily's aunties.

Emily's uncle Ted has also had his share of Corrie limelight, albeit in three minor roles; however, he's additionally well-known for his work in films such as Calendar Girls, The Slammer, Diddy Movies, and Benidorm among others.

But perhaps the most star-studded connection is Emily's mother Kate and her aunty Amy's first cousin once removed is The Beatles legend Paul McCartney. Paul is Amy and Kate's mum's cousin, and she's spoken fondly of him, saying: "He's everything you would hope him to be, genuinely lovely."

Nobody's Fool launches on Saturday 23 May at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
