How to apply for Secret Genius series two on Channel 4

The search is on to find contestants for the second series of the show, which is hosted by Alan Carr and Susie Dent.

The first series attracted more than 2.1 million viewers for its opening episode.

A spokesperson for Mothership Productions said: “We are back with even more games, more twists and brand-new ways for viewers at home to play along and test their own smarts alongside the contestants.”

The show celebrates overlooked and underestimated intelligence, giving people a chance to prove just how clever they are through a series of immersive games inspired by Mensa-style challenges.

Adults from all backgrounds across the UK are invited to apply.

The spokesperson added: “Secret Genius celebrates people whose intelligence has been overlooked, underestimated or completely missed, giving them a chance to discover just how brilliant they really are.”

Producers are looking for people who have felt ‘misunderstood’ at school, at work, or even at home, and who believe their true potential has gone unnoticed.

The application process and eligibility details are available at www.geniuscasting.co.uk.

Applications are now open.
