<\/p>\nLEGENDARY TV star Sarah Greene will be back on screens today after retreating out of the TV spotlight after her husband's death.<\/p>\n
Sarah, 65, looks set to become the new queen of daytime quizzes with her brand new game show, The Finish Lane, with Roman Kemp at 4.30pm on BBC One.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
It comes nearly a decade on from Sarah stepping back from the glitz and glam of TV following the incredibly sad passing of her beloved husband, Mike Smith.<\/p>\n
Mike ran his own aerial filming firm and Sarah took over the helping of running the day-to-day operations. <\/p>\n
The TV icon made a name for herself as one of the most in-demand broadcasters of the 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n
Among her biggest roles were Blue Peter and Saturday Superstore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The star also famously worked alongside ex-TV regular Phillip Schofield before he broke into This Morning. <\/p>\n
Mike also enjoyed a career in broadcasting as a BBC Radio 1 DJ and an acclaimed role on Top Of The Pops.<\/p>\n
His death came following complications relating to heart surgery at the age of 59.<\/p>\n
Having taken to time to focus on his business, Sarah seldom appeared on TV apart from a one-off guest hosting week on This Morning where she reunited with ex-colleague Phillip and hosted alongside Rylan Clark. <\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Speaking about stepping away from the industry, Sarah told the Mirror: \u201cOffers of TV came in but for a long time I was trying to learn this new business but also feeling too raw.<\/p>\n \u201cOnly time can help that, you know when you feel ready when you have that energy<\/span>."<\/p>\n Now the star has teamed up with Capital FM star Roman for her brand new BBC game show. <\/p>\n The Finish Line will welcome five contenders each episode to battle it out in a race<\/span> for a cash prize.<\/p>\n Across a series of rounds, they will ensure they are not last in order to still be in with a chance of bagging the money. <\/p>\n Knowledge equals speed so the more you know, the further you go.<\/p>\n Roman, 30, said: \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be hosting The Finish Line, coming to\u00a0BBC One\u00a0this summer.<\/p>\n "I\u2019m a huge fan of quiz shows and with this being my first time hosting one, I really can\u2019t wait for people to see it.<\/p>\n \u201cI love that it\u2019s a brand-new format but based on an iconic horse-racing fairground game. The show is challenging and unpredictable; we know that viewers will be hooked!\u201d<\/p>\n Sarah, 65, added: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely thrilled that people can watch The Finish Line soon.<\/p>\n "It\u2019s quickfire, nail-biting and utterly compelling. AND I get to keep cheeky Roman Kemp and our fabulous contestants on their toes!\u201d<\/p>\n The show has been produced by Potato, which is the same production company behind\u00a0The Chase, Sitting On A Fortune and Moneyball.<\/p>\n The Finish Line was filmed in Belfast,\u00a0Northern Ireland,\u00a0and consists of 25 episodes.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bbc-breakfast-logo-3.jpg\"){kind=logo}
