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.
Joining the team in the studio for the second series are celebrity guests which include Ivo Graham, Tim Vine, Russell Kane, Scarlett Douglas, Zoe Lyons, Colin Jackson, Colson Smith, Ian H Watkins, Rachel Parris, Marcus Brigstocke, Abby Cook, James Haskell, Geoff Norcott, Jenny Ryan, Ugo Monye, Matt Edmondson, Nina Wadia, John Thompson, Desiree Burch, Fay Ripley, Owain Wyn Evans, Kate Bottley and Joe Pasquale.
Episode 1: Jeremy Vine launches a brand-new series alongside team captains Sally Lindsay and Carol Vorderman, as two guest celebrities dive headfirst into a maze of mind-bending challenges. In this opening episode, Welsh radio presenter Owain Wyn Evans and award-winning comedian Tim Vine bring plenty of laughs, but can they keep their cool, crack the puzzles and outsmart the competition?
Jeremy Vine said: “This is the most fun quiz on British TV right now and I can’t wait to get back into the studio with Sally and Carol. Simple puzzles, smart celebs … lots of laughs, lots of howls of disappointment and joy. We are going to have a fantastic time on 5!”
Sally Lindsay added: “Me, Vorders and Jeremy are back puzzling away. I actually was quite impressed last year about how I handled the puzzling! Totally out of my comfort zone and now I’m getting nervous all over again! Nerve wracking and a massive laugh at the same time.”
Carol Vorderman commented: “The first series was just brilliant, it was full of clever twists, laughter and genuine brain-bending moments. I’m so excited to be back puzzling again with my fab mate Sally and the ever-clever Jeremy.”
Celebrity Puzzling returns Monday 23rd February at 7pm on 5.
