ITV is developing a new panel show format called Is This Your Life?.

Producers are currently working on a pilot episode of the show, which will see two teams "compete to find out who knows the most about the very special studio guest".

Radio presenter Sara Cox has been signed up to host the pilot, with Jason Manford and David Walliams acting as the team captains.

Tickets have been released to watch an early run-through of the show, which is due to take place at the RADA Studios in London on Wednesday 4th May.

Speaking to The Mirror about the format, a production source said: "Walliams is TV gold and Jason is a master at these kind of panel shows. He's well-versed at doing 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Odd One In. The two of them together are an absolute genius pairing. Jason won't stand for Walliams mincing about. He'll put him in his place."

The source added: "Sara Cox is also a veteran presenter. It's not supposed to take itself seriously - it's light entertainment and ITV has high hopes for it."

ITV has yet to officially announce the format. Many pilots are never seen on television but are used to work out whether to order a full series or not.
