The BBC has announced the highly anticipated return of The Finish Line set to grace our screens next month for a six-week run.

Airing weekdays, the third season of the popular quiz show sees Roman Kemp putting players through their paces in a thrilling combination of racing and quizzing, accompanied by Sarah Greene.

Behind the scenes, the series hails from Potato, the award-winning production house under ITV Studios.

Roman, 32, couldn't contain his excitement as he said of the return: "I'm absolutely buzzing that The Finish Line is back for another series!

"There are some seriously tense moments, and when the pressure's on, you never know what's going to happen!

"Sarah and I had a blast filming, and I can't wait for everyone to see all the excitement, drama, and surprises this series has in store", reports the Express.

Adding her enthusiasm, 67-year-old Sarah expressed her delight: "I couldn't be more thrilled to be back on air with Roman for a third series of The Finish Line!

"The speed, suspense and surprises are all there and it's even bolder and brighter than before. A fully supercharged quiz for our fabulously supercharged contestants."

Contestants in each episode will face off in a range of qualifying rounds and head-to-head races to win a cash prize, all while adhering to the game's golden rule: answer quickly and never be last if you want to cross the finish line before your opponents.

It's a thrilling race combining knowledge and quick reflexes producing edge-of-your-seat drama loaded with tension.

Alex McLeod, BBC Daytime's Commissioning Editor, hinted at the excitement to come: "The dynamic duo are back for more races."

"This series has fast become a fan-favourite for audiences, there's jeopardy and real heart-racing moments that have you jumping up and down shouting the answers at the screen.

"It's a brilliant programme to be enjoyed by all the family and I'm so glad its back."

The Finish Line returns at 4.30pm on Monday 10 March on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
