This time around, however, they will be whisked away to Vietnam\u2019s Ha Long Bay instead, and there\u2019s double the cash prize at stake.<\/p>\n<p>The eight-part season will see 16 people from different backgrounds be split into two teams and be given 12 days to build a bridge over 1,000 feet of water. The money is waiting at the other end, and whoever reaches it first will have to decide whether to split the cash with their teammates or keep it for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of joining The Bridge, Odudu said: \u201cThe opportunity to front The Bridge has happened almost serendipitously. From the Strictly ballroom I have taken off onto my next, new adventure. Literally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so exciting to front a show that promises to push the envelope and I know The Bridge is going to be bold, full of excitement and filled with plenty of drama. Bring it on.\u201d<\/p> <p>Kane added: \u201cOver the last 25 years, I have been operating in some of the world\u2019s most extreme, remote and hostile locations, but this is one of the highest-stake missions I\u2019ve ever worked on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those involved in the challenge, if they can survive the pressure, this could be a truly life-changing experience, for more reasons than just the prize money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cash won\u2019t come easy though, I am looking forward to putting the team through their paces and stretching their every fibre, from morals and emotions to basic campcraft and survival. This hybrid formula from Workerbee is going to be epic!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is no news yet on when it might land on Channel 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch in the meantime?
