Roman Kemp said, “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.”
Sarah Greene added, “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.”
In each episode, players will compete across a series of qualifiers and head-to-head races for the chance to win a cash prize.
