There are games based on miniature versions of landmarks, such as Marble Arch and Stonehenge, and in one challenge contestants are tasked with sliding pint glasses across a tiny version of Coronation Street’s Rovers Return.
While Small Fortune faces a big task in taking on The Greatest Dancer, which airs its first live shows on BBC One on Saturday, the new series should have far more than a tiny chance of success.

The Eurovision Song Contest takes place in May, but before the UK contestant has attempted to avoid the dreaded “nil points” score, six acts will sing for the chance to take on that mantle at this year’s spectacle.

Whoever makes it to Tel Aviv will follow in the footsteps of greats such as Engelbert Humperdinck, Bonnie Tyler, and Michael Ball, who have all carried the UK’s feint Eurovision hopes on their shoulders over the years.
It will be a tough ask trying to replicate Katrina and the Waves’ 1997 triumph, but the wannabe’s song won’t have to be up to much to outdo Jemini’s unfortunate 2003 effort Cry Baby, which scored precisely “nil points” across the board.
