Called The Talent Test, former Big Brother's Little Brother and X Factor host Dermot will present the show in East London.

Details for the new show are being kept under wraps by bosses and there's no guarantee it will become a series.

Tickets for the recording, which takes place at the Hackney Empire on July 11th are available now.

A teaser promises it will be an "exciting evening of talent".

It comes after The Sun revealed how dad-of-one Dermot will host a new travel show centred around his beloved Ireland.

Though he was born and raised in Essex, the country is the homeland of his parents, Maria and Sean, who moved to England in 1968.

The couple returned to Ireland three years ago.

A TV insider previously said: “Dermot has always been incredibly close to his parents and very proud of his Irish heritage, having spent many a summer holiday back in the Emerald Isle.

"The show would also see him explore another of his great loves — food and drink. And modern Ireland has plenty of both.

“It’s also a cheeky chance to drop in on his parents while he’s over there.”

Dermot - who currently hosts This Morning on Fridays with Alison Hammond, lost out on the top job to Ben Shephard earlier this year.
