David Hasselhoff has been fired more than 200ft into the air in a reverse bungee as part of Ant & Dec's new ITV1 gameshow Red or Black?.

X Factor judge Louis Walsh pushes the detonators that send the former Baywatch star soaring 70 metres (230 feet) outside the front of Battersea Power Station.

Simon Cowell's £1 million giveaway gameshow features some of the most extravagant challenges ever seen on TV, which all have the same two possible outcomes - red or black.

Louis Walsh had six detonators to choose from on the challenge, three were red, three were black, but only one lit the fuse and fired Hasselhoff's reverse bungee.

Contestants on the show will be asked to choose which colour sets of the bungee. If they pick correctly they'll move through to the next stage and have a chance of winning £1 million.

Red or Black? will launch in September on ITV1.
