Former Home & Away star Axle Whitehead has been confirmed to host Seven’s new show, The Wall.
Channel 7 has released an official statement this morning, ‘Aussie actor and musician Axle came across the hit show while living in Los Angeles and describes being part of a production that can literally change people lives as a ‘dream’ return to hosting.’
The new game show, being described as a ‘game where millions can be won with the bounce of a ball’, is a fast, family-friendly game show that offers ordinary two-person teams the opportunity to win extraordinary money by conquering a towering four-storey wall.
The statement released by Seven says, ‘They will compete for life changing amounts of cash that can be won or lost in an instant, depending upon whether a ball bounces your way, or a trivia question is answered correctly.’
Brad Lyons, Seven’s Director of Production, said: ‘The Wall is like nothing we’ve seen. Take it on and get it right and you can win big. It’s fun, unpredictable and addictive and Axle is the perfect guy to guide our contestants through the highs and lows of competing against this four-storey money machine.’
Whitehead has said, ‘The Wall is about giving good people, great opportunities. To be the Australian host blows me away!’
Good luck to the Aussie star, and we can’t wait to tune in.
