The Dragons' Den star will host Time Is Money for ITV - a new daytime formatCredit: RexSara, 40, will swap the business den for the high-octane show that sees contestants start the game with the jackpot prize, in a twist.
Throughout the competition, each hopeful must battle against the clock to keep the cash - and one wrong answer will see it slip away.
With Sara guiding the contestants through each round, Time Is Money promises tension-filled rounds as the last remaining contestant at the end of the game will walk away with the entire prize pot.
Speaking about her channel hop, Sara said: "I’m absolutely delighted to be hosting Time Is Money.
“This show is unlike anything you’ve seen before — it’s full-on, it’s exhilarating, and the pressure is real.
“It’s going to be a rollercoaster of excitement and tension, and I can’t wait to see who’ll keep their cool under pressure. Get ready for a make or break adventure, because time really is money!"
ITV green-lighting Time Is Money comes as its already established shows such as The Chase, Tipping Point and Deal or No Deal continue to dominate daytime TV schedules.
The broadcaster says The Chase is the number one game show for the past nine consecutive years, with its ‘fast channel’ on ITVX the second most-watched on the streaming platform.

Ben Shephard’s Tipping Point - which The Sun recently revealed would return for new episodes after a year off filming - averages 1.6 million viewers in its 4pm slot.
I won investment from Sara Davies during nail-bitting Dragons’ Den episode - this is what she’s really like as a business partnerKatie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime at ITV said: “It’s been fantastic to see our afternoon game shows continue to thrive this year with The Chase, Deal or No Deal, Lingo and Tipping Point all delivering strong ratings and growing audiences.
“These shows have become a staple for daytime TV and we’re thrilled to add Time Is Money to the mix. With its unique blend of fast-paced quiz action and high-stakes drama, Time Is Money will perfectly complement our existing lineup, as will Sara Davies as host.”
