Richard Osman is announced as the host of a new high-stakes quiz show on ITV titled The Golden Elevators. The presenter and author, who is described as a former Pointless co-presenter, is moving from the BBC after a long-running stint as the host of House Of Games. Reporting indicates he has quit that BBC programme after nine years.
The announcement comes shortly after Osman’s departure from House Of Games, and it marks his latest game show venture. Sources describe Osman as 55 and frame the move as a shift to ITV for his next presenting role. Details beyond the show title and hosting arrangement are limited in the provided reports, but both outlets confirm the same core information: Osman will lead The Golden Elevators on ITV and the announcement follows his recent exit from House Of Games.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the casting decision and the timing of his transition between networks.
