What time is Gordon Ramsay's Bank Balance on tonight and what is it about?

Gordon Ramsay returns to screens tonight for a new BBC quiz show which may leave viewers incredibly puzzled by its unusual format.

Since debuting Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares in the US back in 2007, the angry 54-year-old chef has largely remained across the Atlantic.

But he is back this evening on a quiz show that has been compared to a mix of Pointless and The Cube, which may strike some fans as odd as it has nothing to do with food.

So when is it on and how on earth does it work?

The show will debut at 9pm this evening and will see pairs of contestants answer various questions so that they can place stacks of gold bars on a Balance Board.

The more bars they are able to build up, the more they will be able to win - which can escalate to a prize pot of £100,000.

Yet, the more bars they build up, the higher the likelihood it could topple over.

If the show's trailer is anything to go by, Gordon will emulate his gruff Kitchen Nightmares persona to berate contestants over their silly answers.

But, appearing on This Morning to promote the show today, viewers were more distracted by Gordon's comment about his shoe size.

He told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "I've got size 15 feet so I'm walking around this beautiful Bank Balance set on tiptoes.

"I'm trying not to sneeze, breathe or even just shudder in the event that the board comes crashing down. It's quite nerve-wracking."

The UK's average male shoe size is 10 - with size 15 measuring longer than 30cm.

"WOAH, Hang on.... Gordon Ramsay has size 15 feet?" one viewer tweeted.

"Soooo @GordonRamsay just did an interview on @thismorning and the only piece of information I got from it was HES A SIZE 15 FEET?!" another wrote.
