'EUROPE BECAME A BOARD GAME'

Rob Brydon hosts an epic new travel game show

- WORDS: LAURA CARRENO-MÜLLER

He's a comedian, actor and presenter - but in Destination X, Rob Brydon takes on a new role. Whisking 13 contestants across Europe on a blacked-out bus, Rob is both guide and gatekeeper in BBC One's new high-stakes game show.

"In the first episode, there's a lot of, 'We're a team, we're a team' but give it time," Rob, 60, says, knowingly.

A hybrid of The Traitors and Race Across The World, this adrenaline-charged format is based on Belgian hit Bestemming X.
