Roman Kemp is riding high on excitement as he celebrates the return of The Finish Line.
The hit BBC quiz show is officially back for its third season, airing weekdays at 4.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer from 10 March.

Produced by award-winning production company Potato, part of ITV Studios, the show has become a fan favourite - and Roman couldn't be happier to be back at the helm.
"I'm absolutely buzzing that The Finish Line is back for another series!" he said. "There are some seriously tense moments, and when the pressure's on, you never know what's going to happen!

Roman's co-host Sarah added: "I couldn't be more thrilled to be back on air with Roman for a third series of The Finish Line!
"The speed, suspense and surprises are all there and it’s even bolder and brighter than before. A fully supercharged quiz for our fabulously supercharged contestants."
In each episode, players will compete across a series of qualifiers and head-to-head races for the chance to win a cash prize. The aim of the game is simple - answer fast and don't come last and make it to the finish line before your rivals.
Knowledge and speed combine for gripping racing action with nail-biting finishes and plenty of tension.
The exciting news comes amid a period of change for Roman. Despite his well-received appearance at the BRIT Awards last year, reports from the Daily Mail suggest that the former Capital Radio host won't be returning as the BRITs presenter next month. A replacement hasn't been named for the star, but a big name is reportedly being tipped.

Despite the setback, Roman still has a flourishing broadcasting career and is regularly seen on The One Show alongside presenter Alex Jones and in December, he stepped in to host The Repair Shop after Jay Blades was dropped from the popular BBC show.
