Is David Tennant the host of ITV’s Genius Game?
ITV has teased its new game show Genius Game on Twitter, which has recently rebranded as X, and tasked viewers with working out the show’s host, known as ‘The Creator’.
The broadcaster provided a blurred image of them, along with a code to crack – and excited David Tennant fans believe they have figured out what it all means.
Not only have fans pointed to the blurred figure looking similar to Tennant, but they also believe they have cracked the code, translating each of the numbers into its corresponding letter in the alphabet.
This provides quizzers with the following letters – AADDEINNNTTV – which can be rearranged to make, you guessed it, David Tennant.
Get ready for Genius Game 🚨

Genius Game is an adaptation of the South Korean show of the same name, which sees players with their own unique skills competing against each other in tests of their analytical reasoning, attention to detail, memory and loyalty.
The players must form alliances and decide who to trust and who to betray in order to survive, with a cash prize of up to £50,000 up for grabs.
Tennant recently hosted the BAFTA Film Awards, having been seen last year reprising his role on Doctor Who. Meanwhile, he also has the third season of Good Omens coming up.
He made a surprise appearance during the final episode of The Masked Singer this year, too, having admitted that he “love[s]” the show.
