Comedian/actor/presenter Joel Dommett will front a new game show for ITV2, by the title of Hey Tracey, in which contestants can ask for help from an Alexa-style voice assistant. We’ve got all the details here…

The show will see celebrities playing to win cash for members of the public, battling against “unusual questions” that might slip them up. When they’re struggling, said celebs can ask for help from Tracey, the Alexa-alike in the show.

ITV’s official press bumf tells us that Tracey isn’t going to be super helpful, though. Rather than having all of the answers, Tracey seems more like she was “thrown together by some sixth formers in the late 90’s as part of their technology coursework… and she can usually be found tucking into a pie or painting her nails.”

“Each time our celebs summon her help,” ITV explains, “Tracey can connect them with someone in the real world that might be able to help. Less phone-a-friend, more like comedy cold calling. And that means everyone from dog groomers to massage parlours, piano tuners to equine dentists, roadside burger vans to reptile houses.”

Dommett, who’ll host, said this:

“I’m super happy to be hosting new show Hey Tracey for the sweet legends at ITV2. It feels really fresh and funny while also making you squirm with awkwardness. I heavily campaigned to call it Hey Joel, but apparently I’m not famous enough and doesn’t work for the format.”
