WEAKEST LINK CELEBRITY SPECIALS

Series of special episodes features nine celebrity contestants.

Dressed in austere black, The Weakest Link presenter Anne Robinson has a well-earned reputation for intimidating contestants with her withering put-downs and arch insults. But what happens when instead of mere members of the public the players are a whole host of celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, music and sport?

This series of special episodes sees nine celebrity contestants play the fastest, meanest quiz show on television. They leave their lives of glitz and glamour at the door and have to work as a team in order to win charity prize money of up to £20,000. But eight of them will leave with nothing, as round by round they lose the player voted the weakest link.

Will the celebrity chefs be able to stand the heat? Which of the Strictly Come Dancing stars will do the dreaded ‘waltz’ of shame first? And which of the cricketing legends will go out for a duck? Celebrities or not, it’s time to ditch the ditherers, sack the slackers and vote off the weakest link…!

The Weakest Link celebrity series runs for 20 episodes from June 14 at 17h35 on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) and continues every weekday at this time.
