Carrott excited by new 'Golden Balls'

Jasper Carrott has claimed that he can't wait for the new series of ITV gameshow Golden Balls to start.
The presenter said he found the psychological aspects of the programme intriguing, arguing that it was more about "self esteem" than "greed".
He said: "Whilst Golden Balls could be perceived to be about greed, for me its most striking aspect is people's extreme concern with their self esteem.
"It's as though people would rather be seen not to be a fool, and pass up £50,000, than follow their own heart and take a chance. It's surprising, really."
The third series of the show will feature new twists, including former contestants competing for revenge and single-sex experiment episodes.
Golden Balls airs on Monday, April 21 at 5pm on ITV.
