THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: GRAHAM NORTON TO HOST NEW ITV REALITY SERIES

Graham Norton is to host a new reality series titled The Neighbourhood for ITV1 and ITVX. The series, which is casting now, is expected to air in 2026.

The format, as revealed by The Sun newspaper, will feature real families moving into the same street and living alongside each other as neighbours. They will have to negotiate every day tasks such as meals and social gatherings whilst also voting to eliminate each other.

To win the cash prize, the families must eliminate their neighbours whilst staying popular on the street to take home the jackpot. The series promises drama between the households which can affect inter-family dynamics as well as the atmosphere on the street.

Graham Norton said (via The Sun): "Like everyone, I’m always intrigued by what goes on behind closed doors. Add to that some dastardly challenges and a life-changing prize and I’m hooked. I feel confident that The Neighbourhood will be the nation’s favourite destination."

Meanwhile, Ben Shephard is to host new series The Summit, which will see 14 strangers from all walks of life will face the daunting challenge of climbing a mountain in the breathtaking, rugged Alps of New Zealand’s south island. They will also face the ultimate test of strategy and resilience as they compete for a share of a potential £200,000 cash prize.

With 14 days to reach the summit, and an equal share of the prize fund in their backpacks, the contestants will have to navigate treacherous terrain, wild conditions and overcome extraordinary challenges - set by the mysterious Mountain’s Keeper - that block their path to the peak.

But it isn’t just a test of physical strength; strategy plays a crucial role, as the cast will also have to eliminate their competitors along the way. Who will forge alliances? Who will betray? And ultimately who will have what it takes to conquer the mountain and claim the prize?

Host Ben Shephard said: “This series really has got it all; the contestants are going to be tested in every possible way as they try and take on the mountain. They’ll need a serious amount of grit, determination and strategy if they want to reach The Summit...

"Most people know how much I love exercise and adventure but this is taking it to another level - I’ll be donning my mountain gear to check in with them as they battle up the mountain and do their best to combat the demands of the ominous Mountain’s Keeper. I can’t wait to see how they get on because anyone who reaches The Summit will have seriously earned every penny of the prize fund.”

More details on both titles will be announced in due course.
