Devious, suspenseful, twisted… but it’s not a new crime novel!

You might not have heard of Genius Game, unless you’ve been watching ITV over the last week of course, where the trailers have been running during most prime time advert breaks!

Here’s an introduction… Genius Game, a UK game show hosted by David Tennant, challenges contestants to use their intelligence, strategic thinking, and social skills to win a cash prize. The show features a mix of intellectual challenges and social manipulation, requiring players to form alliances and outwit their opponents. It is a UK adaptation of the South Korean format, "The Genius".

I’m absolutely thrilled to be one of the eleven contestants in the very first UK series. Filming was a really fun and challenging experience and I’ve been excited about finally being able to let the cat out of the bag… a bit like launching a new book!

Talking about which, the paperback launch of Because She Looked Away is in Newmarket on 28 April… tickets here…in events

The first of 8 episodes of Genius Game will air on 30 April 2025 on ITV1.
