EastEnders star Ross Kemp is going to be presenting a brand new quiz show on BBC One starting this March. The actor and presenter best known for his on-and-off role as Grant Mitchell in the London-based BBC soap EastEnders since 1990 will be the new host of Bridge of Lies.
The 57-year-old is also known for presenting documentaries including Ross Kemp on Gangs and Ross Kemp on Afghanistan but he's now taking a new path in his career and said becoming host of Bridge of Lies was a new "challenge".
"I sometimes write treatments for documentaries," he explained. "And I always know that if I can picture it coming off the page, then there’s a good chance it will get made and will make good television. As soon as I read the treatment for Bridge of Lies, I could visualise it coming to life. It all made total sense straight away, and that was really exciting for me.
