ITV is launching a new reality show titled 'The Summit', which is hosted by Ben Shephard, known for his work on 'This Morning'. The show pits contestants against each other as they undertake an ambitious 100-kilometre journey through the mountainous terrains of New Zealand. Among the 13 contestants is the daughter of a notable star from the popular show 'I'm A Celebrity'. Participants aim to reach the summit of a mountain standing at 8,500 feet to compete for a lucrative cash prize of up to £200,000.

Originally scheduled to debut in 2025, the show's airing was brought forward and will now start on February 10, 2026, at 9 PM on ITV1. The format of 'The Summit' has already proven successful in Australia, which raises expectations for its reception in the UK. The premise of the show involves not only physical endurance but also teamwork and strategic thinking, making it an engaging addition to the reality TV landscape.

With the blend of celebrity connections and extreme challenges, 'The Summit' is anticipated to capture the attention of viewers, especially fans of adventure and competition-themed reality shows. Moreover, the involvement of well-known personalities adds an interesting dynamic that can attract a wider audience and generate discussions around the show’s contests and outcomes.
