The two broadcasters - who previously teamed up for 'The Traitors', which was hosted by Claudia Winkleman - are coming together for another programme already proving to be a hit after originating in Belgium.

In a press release, the BBC hailed the show as a "larger-than-life adventure competition" which "crosses fantasy with reality".

The 10-part series will see 10 contestants on a road trip with "no idea of their location".

The Beeb explained: "Once they're on the innovative Destination X bus, reality is tweaked to mislead them and the viewers.

"Information comes with a number of clues designed to help the contestants decide if they can trust what they see.

"They need to be on top of their game at all times to figure out where they are.

"At the end of each episode, the contestant who places their X on a map furthest away from the bus's actual location has to leave the game and loses their shot at winning a cash prize."

The surviving participants will be left to search for the location of the host, who is interacting with the contestants from a "secret command post".

'Destination X' - which was created by Geronimo - first aired on Belgium's VTM earlier this year.

In a statement, Kate Phillips - BBC Director of Unscripted - said: "Following the must-see success of 'The Traitors', I'm delighted that once again we're partnering with NBCUniversal on another very smart, very addictive and very innovative competition show.

"With countless red herrings and brain-teasing clues, we were gripped from the start.

"It promises to be a hugely challenging adventure for our ten brave contestants, with plenty of play along for all BBC viewers, as everyone hopes they've got the 'X' that marks the spot!"

Corie Henson - Executive Vice President, Unscripted Programming at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming - added: "'Destination X' is a big unique format that pairs spectacular adventure travel with the ultimate guessing game.

'The Traitors' instilled confidence that big formats are back, and 'Destination X' is incredibly ambitious."
