Danny Dyer is teaming up with Ellie Taylor to host a new Netflix quiz show.

Titled Cheat, the series is high-stakes show where contestants can literally cheat their way to a fortune – as long as they don’t get caught. In every episode, four brave players have their knowledge put to the ultimate test, as they fight it out over three rounds to avoid elimination and build a jackpot worth up to £50,000. But there’s one crucial twist: if you don’t know the answer, it pays to cheat.

Based on an original idea by Giles Boden and developed by Laura Gibson and Charlie Bennett, the series is produced by Talkback, a Fremantle label, and will be filmed in front of a studio audience.

Danny Dyer says: “This is a great new series and there’s no quiz show better suited for me; expect enormous wins, loads of slippery people cheating and banter with the one and only, Ellie Taylor”

Ellie Taylor adds: “I’m so excited to join Cheat and the Netflix family. Cheat has all the elements I want in a quiz show; great questions, unashamed cheating and Danny Dyer calling me ‘Treacle’ at least once per episode. I can’t wait to get started!”
