Phillip Schofield will be back in 2015 to host the ninth series of ITV’s The Cube, with a new set of contestants who will tackle The Cube in the hope of winning a quarter of a million pounds!
The game show that tests contestants’ skill, nerve and determination to win, which will return to its new set with its ground breaking technology and 3D graphics, is set to be a corker.
The new series was announced by Phillip live on This Morning on Monday, 24th November.
Ahead of announcing the new series Phillip challenged fan of The Cube and Fresh Meat star Jack Whitehall to play The Cube live in the This Morning studio. Jack successfully tackled a game of hand-eye coordination called ‘APERTURE’, where he had 20 seconds to place 20 balls through a small hole into a Perspex box, using only one hand!
The ninth series of The Cube will see the return of our favourite games alongside a host of new ones which have been developed especially to push the hopeful contenders to their limits.
Testing their balance and nerve ‘MOTION BUILD’ sees the contestant on a rotating platform trying to build a tower, whilst ‘CONTAIN’ challenges their speed and tenacity as it asks players to throw a ball into a box with a rapidly opening and closing trap door.
And there is a whole new raft of celebrities facing the nail biting challenge of beating The Cube too. Comedian and actor Rufus Hound, retired footballer Fabrice Muamba, comedian Katherine Ryan and stand-up Rob Beckett are all hopeful that they will win big for their chosen charities.
Do they have what it takes to beat The Cube?
The Cube filmed in September 2014 and will TX on ITV1 in 2015.
