A British version of the hit US, Swedish and Japanese endurance competition will come to screens in the spring, with hosting duties also given to Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara.

The trio will be seen hosting as 250 contestants from a variety of different walks of life take on the ultimate tests of strength, speed and courage across three hilarious but punishing stages.

Those who prove they have what it takes will move on to the final task, scaling an impressive vertical-faced tower named Mount Midoriyama, in a bid to be crowned the first Ninja Warrior UK.

Asif Zubairy, ITV's Commissioning Editor of Entertainment said: "We are thrilled to be bringing Ninja Warrior to the UK. This exciting new format will showcase some inspirational achievements as well as hilarious mishaps on what promises to be the toughest course on TV."

The programme is commissioned by Potato, part of ITV Studios in the UK.
