Ant McPartlin said: "This show is absolutely perfect for us.

"It's all about pure fun and entertainment for the whole family from start to finish.

"Anyone who knows us knows we are adore golf, but you don’t need to be a golf fanatic to enjoy it, there's something for everyone!"

Each episode will see eight contestants compete for the Holey Moley golden putter, a green plaid jacket and a fantastic prize.

Declan Donnelly said: "Holey Moley blends the game with huge entertaining moments that the whole family can sit down together, watch and enjoy.

"It’s epic, bold and full of laughs.

"We're really excited to bring the show to the UK!"

The course will be packed with inventive obstacles, physical challenges and laugh-out-loud jeopardy.

Contestants will include both professionals and amateurs, described as fearless everyday thrill-seekers.

The duo will be joined by celebrity guests during the series.
