Popular TV game show The Price Is Right is set to return to TV screens later in the year with a brand new celebrity host!
The show, which was originally fronted by Leslie Crowther and Sir Bruce Forsyth during the 1980s and 1990s, will be given a reboot on Channel 4 with comedian Alan Carr as the presenter.
A national newspaper is reporting is that a pilot of the show is being produced, and if it's successful it will be given a full series.

Speaking about bringing the iconic game show back to TV, Alan said, "It's proper bucket list territory for me as I loved it when I was growing up and now for me to be at the helm of such a legendary show is a dream come true."
"It just leaves me with one thing to say ... come on down!"
The Price Is Right has been dubbed as 'the world's longest game show' as the concept first started in the 50s in America.
The show, which sees contestants trying to win money by guessing prices of everyday household items, first hit UK TV screens in 1984 with host Leslie Crowther.
Between 1989 and 1990 the show was fronted by Bob Warman, before it moved back to ITV with Sir Bruce Forsyth taking over hosting duties between 1995 and 2001.
ITV later rebooted the show in 2006 when they hired I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here winner Joe Pasquale to present it.
The Price Is Right is just one of the shows that is making a comeback.
Earlier in the year The Crystal Maze returned for a charity special and Channel 5 revealed they are bringing back Blind Date with Paul O'Grady as the host.
The Price Is Right is expected on TV later in the year.
