CELEBRITY PUZZLING RENEWED FOR SECOND SERIES, CHANNEL 5 ORDER 50 EPISODES OF JEREMY VINE FRONTED QUIZ

Channel 5 have announced a huge 50 episode order for quiz format Celebrity Puzzling following its initial 8 episodes earlier this year. The format started life in 2023 as a primetime civilian format presented by Lucy Worsley.

An exhilarating game show hosted by broadcaster Jeremy Vine, putting the nation's favourite stars through their paces through a series of mind-bending puzzles. Celebrity Puzzling is hosted by Vine with team captains, actress Sally Lindsay and quiz queen Carol Vorderman, who each week welcome a new celebrity guest to their respective teams.

Together, they tackle a range of fun and fiendish puzzles – testing logic, lateral thinking and problem-solving - all vying for the ultimate prize: bragging rights as the best puzzle-solvers in showbiz.

Channel 5's Federico Ruiz commented: "Bringing back broadcasting royalty Jeremy, Carol and Sally was a total no-brainer... And with 50 hours of brain-scratching puzzles, as well as a long line of celebrity guests raring to go, they’ll certainly have their work cut out."

The first series featured famous faces including Stephen Bailey, Miles Jupp, Shaun Williamson, Les Dennis, Gareth Malone, John Thomson, Dom Joly, Russell Kane, Melvin Odoom, Paul Sinha, David James, Ore Oduba, Scarlett Moffatt, Dr Ranj Singh, Sam Quek and Rav Wilding.

Celebrity Puzzling will air on 5.
