The series, which starts on Monday 14th March, asks teams of four to compete for cash by making their way across a collection of stepping stones – however, if they step onto the wrong answer, they risk being eliminated from the competition.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com for The Big RT Interview, Kemp said on the show: "It does appear very simple on the page, but the complexities of how you play it and the strategy involved in it is a bit more complex than just hoping you're going to step lucky."

To win prize money, competitors must cross the Bridge by stepping on the truths and avoiding the lies to each question. If they step on the correct answer, then they can progress in the game, but if they step on the wrong one, they risk falling off the Bridge and being eliminated from the game. If a contestant steps on three lies, then they are out of the game.

Once a contestant crosses the Bridge by themselves, they can join forces with other successful contestants to face the dramatic final crossing for a chance to take home big money.

The teams of four can decide which member of their group should take on a crossing depending on the question category, with the overall quiz being one of general knowledge.
