THE CUBE RETURNS FOR CHRISTMAS CELEBRITY SPECIAL

Phillip Scofield is back with a one-off Christmas special as a brand-new batch of celebrity pairings prepare to take on the Cube.

Celebrities taking on The Cube are McFly’s Danny Jones and DougIe Poynter and comedian Emily Atack and her mum Kate Robbins.

Competing for a jackpot of £250,000 for their chosen charities, each team will have nine lives to complete seven games, each worth an increasing amount of money, as they move closer to the huge jackpot.

The celebrities will have to overcome extreme nerves and frustration as they take on deceivingly simple tasks such as bouncing a ball into a container, balancing on a beam or stopping a clock at precisely 10 seconds.

The special edition of The Cube will air later this year on ITV.
