Claudia Winkleman will return as host, guiding this diverse ensemble through the twists and turns of reality TV. The mix includes ten actors, five comedians, three TV presenters, two pop stars, and one social media influencer.
Key facts about the upcoming series:
- The show will again donate winnings to charity, with a potential jackpot of 100,000 pounds.
