Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene's quiz show 'The Finish Line is returning for a second series.

The BBC One show will be back on screens for another run with filming set to get underway in Belfast in 2024, with Roman hosting and Sarah appearing as his assistant for the extended series.

In a statement, Roman said: "The first series was so much fun; I had such a laugh filming, and we had some great contestants.

"There were some shocking answers, but that’s what happens when your adrenaline is pumping and you’re under a time pressure.

"I’m so excited to be hosting again and returning to Northern Ireland.

“I love that it’s done so well with the audience, it’s challenging and unpredictable; we know that viewers will be hooked once again!”

The show sees contestants battling in qualifiers and head to head races in a bid to win the cash prize, with the goal of making it to the finish line before your rivals.

Sarah added: "Making the first series of 'The Finish Line' was like being part of a big warm family, where we felt involved in a fantastic idea and format.

"Best of all? As soon as 'The Finish Line' went to air, our viewers joined us in their droves.

“I know I speak for all of us on the show when I say we can’t wait to get back into the studio for more quickfire questions, nail-biting finishes and lots of laughs on Series 2 of 'The Finish Line!' ”

Meanwhile, Roman previously admitted he had to improve his style to fit BBC television.

He explained to The Sun: "Even though I do quizzes every day on the radio, it is intimidating and certainly a skill to do this show — it’s just one I had to learn.

"My relationship with Sarah isn’t serious, we’re pretty cheeky on set.

"The only serious thing is that I had to wear more reserved clothing but that’s just BBC clothing. I can’t go on there looking how I look on 'Gogglebox.' "
