Five has signed Justin Lee Collins.

The two-year deal is a golden handcuffs deal and is reported to be worth around a million pounds.

Justin is expected to present programmes across a variety of genres which will begin with him presenting a quiz show.

Richard Woolfe, Five's controller, who worked with Justin at Sky1, said: "Justin is undoubtedly a unique TV phenomenon who is equally at home in a big studio, out on location or being around the public or celebrities. He exudes warmth, passion and guarantees to put a smile on everyone's face. He is indeed the new face of Five. I'm delighted to have secured Justin at such a pivotal point for Five. We have just celebrated 14 weeks of continued growth – the only terrestrial to do so. Five continues to attract big names and Justin is a key player in our great autumn line up."

Justin was part of Channel 4's Sunday Night Project and has presented a chat show for ITV2.
