The BBC One game show - which is hosted by former 'EastEnders' star Ross Kemp - sees contestants trying to differentiate between the truths and lies by venturing across a bridge of stepping stones in a bid to win thousands and the upcoming third series will feature "fantastic contestants" who manage to scoop the biggest amount in the show's history.

He is quoted by The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column as saying: "When I first said yes to hosting a new quiz show, I could never have imagined that we'd still be here three series later, but 'Bridge Of Lies' seems to have really struck a chord with viewers. The new series is bigger and better than ever, with fantastic contestants who I loved getting to know. One brave team even managed to take home the biggest cash prize in Bridge Of Lies history."

Ross, 59, has also fronted a string of films focusing on topics such as prisons, drugs, and crime gangs since leaving his role as Grant Mitchell in the BBC soap opera and recently explained that he enjoys having the balance between the two contrasting jobs.

Speaking on the 'Table Manners' podcast, he told hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware: "Sometimes I sort of feel sort of guilty about the fact that I literally get paid to do documentaries about human suffering, so what is nice about doing a game show is that it less about human suffering and more about having a laugh and a giggle.

The third series of 'Bridge of Lies' will air on BBC One on at 4:30p, from Monday 11 March.
