Meanwhile, the top-scoring celebrity wins £10,000 for their chosen charity, while the lowest-scoring celeb faces a hilarious final forfeit.

The celebrity panel will be led by comedian Rob Beckett.

So far it boasts an impressive lineup, including Loose Women star Judi Love, singer Olly Murs, England goalkeeper Mary Earps, and presenters Alison Hammond and Rosie Ramsey.

Football legend Harry Redknapp will also join the fun.
