TV fans are convinced that Bradley Walsh's new quiz show on Channel 4 is actually a "hoax".
Million Pound Shot is Walsh's new one-off show, in which three contestants step up for the chance to win up to £1 million.
The show, filmed in front of a live studio audience, asks contestants to test their nerve and instinct, asking them "how much can you trust your gut when it really counts?"
The description of the show shared by Channel 4 hints that not everything is as it seems, with a "huge twist" and a "night of drama unlike anything he’s [Walsh] hosted before."
However, Channel 4 fans are not convinced that the show is actually what it seems, with some sharing that its Sunday 9pm slot makes it odd for a seemingly family-friendly quiz show.

TV industry commentator Chuck Thomas took to X to share that he thinks the whole show is "actually a massive television hoax."
As Thomas wrote: "Channel 4 is promising extraordinary drama, tension and life-changing outcomes, with a huge secret viewers won't see coming.
"And now the television detectives are getting suspicious.
"KEO Films is no ordinary production company...
Interesting. Bradley Walsh looks anxious in this picture. And if you zoom in, you can see a man in the audience whose body language looks nervous. This does point towards a stunt. #MillionPoundShot https://t.co/ZiljlHRFX8

"It's famous for fascinating documentaries and extraordinary stunts. The sort of programmes that make you question what you're watching.
"Not exactly the people you'd normally call for a quiz where Bradley Walsh asks somebody for the capital of Belgium.
"So what's going on?"

Thomas then went on to share some theories on what Walsh's show really is, suggesting it is a Derren Brown experiment, an innocent quiz that takes a horrifying turn, or a modern-day Ghostwatch.
So far, Channel 4 has not revealed that Million Pound Shot is nothing but a normal quiz show.
