The makers of hit Michael McIntyre shows are searching for Hertfordshire families to star in a new TV pilot.

Hungry Bear Media, which oversees the comedian's Big Show and The Wheel, have appealed for “fun, outgoing” families to get in touch.

In a social media post alongside the advert, Herts residents who love to watch game shows on a Saturday night and play along at home have been urged to contact them.

Although the programme details have yet to be announced, interested families can get in touch via tvpilot@hungrybear.tv for more information.

Hungry Bear Media has been asked for clarification on whether the new show features McIntyre. Update to follow.

In the comedian’s latest creation The Wheel, contestants work with seven celebrities elected as experts in a certain field to answer questions.

The celebrities sit in chairs mounted to 13-metre wide wheels on the main stage, while three contestants sit in chairs on a smaller wheel. These are spun to choose a contestant and expert at random.

The show is currently in its fourth-series and the remaining five episodes will air on BBC One from February 24 to March 23.
