E4 has today announced The Hangover Games, a brand new gameshow with a bittersweet twist.

This unique and hilarious series will see presenter Matt Richardson and co-host Ken Cheng spring a surprise on hungover Brits across the country, challenging them to compete in an outrageous set of challenges, based on their antics from the night before, all for the chance of winning a cash prize.

Under the assumption they are taking part in a documentary about British night life, a group of mates will be followed by the cameras on a night out. What they won’t find out until the next morning is that they are really taking part in a brand new game show. Groggily woken up to a knock on the door from Matt early the next morning, they will learn that they have the chance to win a cash prize if they can make it out of bed and take part in The Hangover Games.

Each game will test their memories of the night before and they’ll have to rely on one another’s stamina, clear thinking, emotional stability and iron stomachs if they want to be crowned winners. Let the games begin.

Becky Cadman, E4, Factual Entertainment commissioning editor says, “We’re very excited to be working with Little Gem on this anarchic series that is sure to resonate all too well with a party loving E4 viewer and guaranteed to provide some laughs along the way.”

Kate Maddigan, Little Gem executive producer says, “We’ve met the UK’s biggest party animals filming this show and can’t wait to share the laughs, stunts and sometimes shockingly outrageous moments with the E4 audience.”
