You can tune into the hot new gameshow Limitless Win with award-winning British presenters Ant and Dec to watch as contestants answer questions in a bid to win as much money as they can. The twist? There’s no limit to the amount of money they can win in the pot – for each correct answer, they’ll progress in the game, but if they get the answer over by just one, they could crash out of the game and risk losing thousands of bank prize cash.
But the show works on a series of limitless ladders – offering lifelines hidden on steps along the way – these get unlocked as contestants climb the ranks. You can catch all the action from Friday the 20th of January at 20h00.
