John Barrowman will be hosting new BBC One gameshow, 'Pressure Pad'.
Two teams of five players will fight it out for a prize of £2,000 in front of a gigantic circular pressure pad, and the 'Torchwood' star can't wait to get started on the new role.
He said: "I am thrilled to be hosting this new innovative quiz show for BBC One and look forward to seeing whether contestants can take the heat on the 'Pressure Pad', and join in having fun with me."
The game will see contestants face their opposite number in a bid to answer several general knowledge questions correctly, but if they lose their head-to-head then they will be eliminated from the game and unable to help their team in the final.
The winning team will receive the £2,000 cash prize and will be given the chance to play for an extra rolling prize.
John previously played Captain Jack Harkness in both 'Doctor Who' and its spin-off series 'Torchwood' after first appearing on the show in 2005.
He has since been seen on 'Doctor Who' special episode 'The End of Time', which saw David Tennant's Tenth Doctor regenerate into Matt Smith's Eleventh incarnation.
'Pressure Pad' will air daily from November.
