Ryan and Adam Thomas Launch New ITV Game Show “99 to Beat”
Brothers Ryan and Adam Thomas have embarked on a new venture, hosting ITV’s latest Saturday-night entertainment show, “99 to Beat.” The program features 100 contestants engaging in quirky and humorous games, all vying for a £25,000 prize. The Thomas brothers describe their presenting style as reminiscent of The Chuckle Brothers, emphasizing lightheartedness and sibling camaraderie.
In “99 to Beat,” participants face a series of simple yet entertaining challenges, with the primary rule being: don’t come last. Each round eliminates the last-place contestant, narrowing the field until a single winner emerges to claim the cash prize. This format ensures that anyone can win, adding to the show’s universal appeal.
The Thomas brothers, known for their roles in popular soaps like “Emmerdale” and “Coronation Street,” have expressed their excitement about this new endeavor. They view “99 to Beat” as the ultimate family show, blending fun, competition, and heartfelt moments. Their transition from acting to hosting marks a significant milestone in their careers, allowing them to showcase their dynamic chemistry and infectious energy.
However, the production has faced challenges. During filming, three contestants were hospitalized due to adverse reactions during a haystack challenge. The Thomas brothers addressed these incidents, acknowledging that injuries are an inherent risk given the physical nature of the tasks. They assured that contestant welfare remains a top priority and that safety protocols have been reinforced to prevent future occurrences.
Despite these setbacks, “99 to Beat” has been positively received, with viewers appreciating its family-friendly content and the engaging dynamic between the Thomas brothers. The show offers a fresh take on the game show genre, combining elements of competition with lighthearted entertainment.

The singer recalled how he once stole his neighbour’s son’s bicycle and sold it to raise money for a studio session.
He said “If my mom hears this, she’ll be angry. When we lived in Okoko, I once stole my neighbor’s son’s bicycle and hid it at night. I sold it in Alaba for ₦7,000 to pay for studio sessions. I’ve seen him since and bought him a new bicycle.”

Nigerian singer Femi Kuti has spoken about his views on commitment and shared that he told his wife before their marriage that he would not remain with just one woman.

He shared “I told my first wife before we got married that I love women and could never be faithful to just one woman. I only married her so my children could get a British passport.”

Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has revealed that she once had the chance to become a billionaire through the political field but turned it down.
She shared the reason she turned it down, saying it was because of her principles. She also shared that she would have compromised her principles if she had gone down that path.
“I tell people that if I wanted to be a billionaire, I could have been one easily. I’ve been offered that opportunity through politics, but I chose not to take it because it would compromise my principles.”
