Bridge of Lies / Celebrity Bridge of Lies

Hosted by British TV icon Ross Kemp, Bridge of Lies sees teams of contestants competing for cash by crossing a bridge made up of stepping stones across the studio floor. Each stepping stone has a different option, and the players must try to get from A to B by stepping on the truths and avoiding the lies or risk falling off the bridge and out of the game.

Filmed and produced in Glasgow, the first series was commissioned by BBC Daytime as part of a competitive initiative to find innovative new quiz formats made in Scotland. It became the BBC’s best-performing new daytime quiz show of the previous 12 months when it first aired in March 2022.

Following the success of series one, a primetime spin-off featuring famous contestants, Celebrity Bridge of Lies, was swiftly commissioned. The format has also become a hit in several major international territories, including the United States (Beat the Bridge for Game Show Network) and Spain (El puente de las mentiras for La 1).
