TV funnyman Justin lee Collins has signed an amazing £1 million deal making him the new face of Five.

The former Sunday Night Project presenter, said he was “thrilled” about his new role.

His first project will be to host all new gameshow ‘Heads or Tails’, where contestants have a chance to win £1 million on the flip of a coin.

Five boss Richard Woolfe said: “Justin is undoubtedly a unique TV phenomenon.”

I fell in love with Justin’s wit and presenting style when he first hit our screens alongside Alan Carr. When the duo split, he was the one I watched. Alan Carr irritates me with his over campness and horrible teeth but Justin can carry off most type of shows. The most recent where he spent weeks training to appear in a West End version of Chicago was actually very entertaining. Five have landed quite the star here.
