What is ITV’s The Box?
The Box is a brand-new game show on ITV. Ten celebrities are dropped into big, bright yellow boxes and transported to unknown locations around the UK.
Once they arrive, the stars have to take on a series of challenges. These can be physical, logical, funny… or all of the above. The stars are given little guidance to figure out what is expected of them and stay in the game.
Each episode ends with The Duel. This is a high-stakes showdown between the last two contestants standing. The loser will leave the competition, while the winner continues and has the chance to be crowned the ultimate champion.
The show has been adapted for UK audiences from the popular Norwegian TV show, Boksen.
