As ever, the stars will be attempting to work their way up the ladder to see if they can bag the top prize of £1,000,000.

They will be aided by the use of four lifelines to guide them through the game and get them as far as they can.

All the celebs will be hoping that they can do one better than Richard Madeley who managed to win an impressive £125,000 on the last starry special.

One celebrity who has really struggled on the show in the past is musician Jools Holland.

He gave one of the worst performances ever seen on the quiz programme when he used two lifelines in five minutes.

Before even hitting the 'easy' £1,000 mark - he had resorted to seeking advice from both the audience and his phone a friend in order to progress in the quiz.
