Bradley Walsh is reportedly set to ‘front a new TV series with a surprising twist’ – and its very different from his other shows. 

The presenter, 64, is already plenty busy with his roles on The Chase and Gladiators but his new gig will be a different format entirely. 

The programme for Sky will be тιтled Egypt’s Cosmic Code and see Bradley get to explore a field he is ‘obsessed’ with, according to The Sun. 

He will venture to Egypt to explore historical landmarks with a team of experts over the three-episode special. 

A TV insider told the publication: ‘This isn’t necessarily the field of expertise most viewers would imagine him having, but he is obsessed with this chapter of ancient history.

‘He’s just thrilled to have bagged a documentary where he gets to indulge the great pᴀssion, even if it doesn’t quite fit in with his current line-up of shows.’

MailOnline has contacted Bradley’s representatives for comment. 

Last month Bradley was reportedly offered a huge pay rise to stay on The Chase. 

The former Coronation Street star has fronted the ITV1 teatime quiz show since since its inception in 2009 and the series still regularly pulls in audiences of up to five million.

The exact amount he receives is currently unknown, but now bosses have reportedly bumped up his salary amid fears he could quit.

A source told The Sun: ‘Bradley is one of the network’s most popular presenters and is hugely likeable.

‘During negotiations for his contract to be renewed, bosses at ITV were concerned he might quit if he wasn’t happy with his package.

‘There was a real concern he might walk away.’

The show is approaching 16 years on air and insiders told the outlet that everyone at the broadcaster is ‘delighted’ that Bradley has decided to stay.

Bradley has been a mainstay on ITV for years, as he fronted Wheel of Fortune for them in the late 1990s.

In the early 2000s, he appeared as Underworld boss Danny Baldwin on their flagship soap  but has also worked extensively for the BBC.

He played Graham O’Brien in their sci-fi series Doctor Who, and has also hosted a revival of Blankety Blank for them in recent years.

Bradley and his son Barney hosted the BBC’s acclaimed revival of Gladiators in 2024 and the show has been renewed for a second series.

In 2022, he returned to drama with his role on the short-lived reboot of The Larkins for ITV.  

But according to reports, Bradley’s new salary will be paid via PAYE instead of via his own limited company so will pay more tax on his earnings.
