BRITAIN'S SECRET GENIUS: ALAN CARR AND SUSIE DENT TEAM UP FOR NEW CHANNEL 4 SERIES

Britain’s Secret Genius will see Alan Carr and Susie Dent test Britain’s brainpower like never before as they seek to uncover the country’s most gifted and unsung minds.

Channel 4 is teaming up with Mensa to find the UK’s secret geniuses – in hairdressers, factories and supermarkets – who are smarter than the nation’s top boffins but never knew it.

This six-part series will see people from across the UK take part in immersive and ambitious challenges that will test all aspects of their brain power - encouraging viewers to play along and find out if they too have what it takes to be a genius. 

Alan Carr said: "I have never ever been called a genius believe it or not, but I am fascinated by those people who do get labelled genius. Is it a gift, a curse, or a burden? I am so excited about ’Secret Genius', it’s going to be absolutely fascinating not only finding out what makes these people tick but also challenging stereotypes and prejudices along the way."

Susie Dent said: "I’m delighted to be part of the search for Britain’s undiscovered geniuses alongside Alan. The thought of meeting extraordinary individuals—who may have been overlooked in the past or may not realise the full extent of their talents—is hugely exciting."

More details will be announced in due course.
