TV producers are on the hunt for the nation's unsung intellectuals to take part in a fresh round of brain-bending challenges.

Mothership Productions is casting for the second series of Channel 4’s Secret Genius, hosted by Alan Carr and Susie Dent.

The show gives contestants a chance to shine through immersive intelligence games inspired by real Mensa-style challenges.

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.

"At its heart, 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."

The first series attracted more than 2.1 million viewers for its debut episode, drawing contestants from across the UK.

The production team is seeking adult applicants from all backgrounds.
