Bradley Walsh is swapping quiz questions for UFO investigations in a brand-new television series that will see him travel the world searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life.
The presenter, best known for hosting The Chase, is fronting Bradley Walsh: Out Of This World for Sky History, a series exploring some of the most intriguing mysteries surrounding alleged UFO sightings and unexplained phenomena.
The programme will follow Walsh as he examines reports of strange objects seen both in the sky and beneath the sea, while meeting eyewitnesses who claim to have had close encounters with extraterrestrial visitors.
As part of the series, he will investigate everything from mysterious crop circles to unexplained military sightings, with access reportedly being granted to official files in both the UK and US that document incidents authorities have been unable to fully explain.
Bradley Walsh shared a first look to his new show to his own Instagram page.

A television insider said: "Bradley holds a deep fascination with extraterrestrial theories, particularly concerning ancient history and engineering, so he is the perfect person to front this series."
They added: "He goes wherever the evidence takes him, whether that's secret military files, eyewitness testimony, underwater anomalies or ancient mysteries."
The show arrives amid renewed public interest in UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. In recent years, governments including the United States have declassified footage and reports relating to unidentified aerial phenomena, while discussions around so-called "disclosure" have become increasingly mainstream.
The timing is also notable as interest in alien life continues to be fuelled by Hollywood.

Acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg has long been one of the most prominent believers in the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, exploring the subject throughout his career in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Spielberg's latest project, Disclosure, has further renewed interest in the subject among audiences.
Whether Walsh uncovers definitive proof remains to be seen, but the presenter appears determined to follow every lead as he investigates one of humanity's biggest unanswered questions: are we really alone in the universe?
