Walk the Line start time, presenters and judges as Simon Cowell's new ITV show airs

Walk the Line is the brand new musical game show from Simon Cowell.

Making its debut on ITV this weekend the series has been described as a talent show with a twist, with £500,000 up for grabs.

Each episode will see musicians take to the stage to perform, but to win the money talent alone isn't enough as the contestants will need nerves of steel as they determine whether to cash out or physically Walk the Line and risk it all to stay in the competition.

Walk the Line judges

The new show has an impressive judging panel.

As well as comedian Dawn French and hit pop star Craig David.

Talking about the show Gary said: "When Simon calls it's usually with something fairly extraordinary. I'm so excited to be involved in a brand new TV show, and of course my favourite part of Walk the Line is discovering new talent."

Alesha is also excited to be working with Simon again, she said: "When Simon first told me about the format, I couldn't wait to see it come to life.
