Jeremy Clarkson to Host New Who Wants to be a Millionaire Spin Off
Jeremy Clarkson is set to host a new spin-off of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? titled Millionaire Hot Seat, which will air on ITV in 2026. Filming for the series is scheduled to commence in November 2025.
Format and Gameplay
In this high-pressure version of the classic quiz show, six contestants will sit in a queue around the "Hot Seat." Only one contestant can face Clarkson at a time to answer questions on the Million Pound Money Ladder.
Correct answers allow them to climb the ladder, while incorrect answers eliminate them from the game and decrease the top prize. If a contestant passes on a question, they remain in the game but move to the back of the line, potentially losing their chance to return to the Hot Seat. Only the contestant who answers the final question correctly can win the remaining top prize
