In the new season of Celebrity Mastermind, host Clive Myrie will test the mettle of some of the country’s most recognisable names.
Actor and comedian Bobby Davro, TV chef Suzie Lee, Olympic skier Graham Bell, and BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Remi Burgz will be the four stars in the spotlight on Saturday, February 4 at 5:35 p.m.
They are going to sit in the infamous black chair to answer questions about their areas of expertise, which include, among others, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Bridget Jones, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and salmon.
Presenter Clive Myrie says: “Our fantastic celebrity line-ups are always a brave bunch. All in the name of charity, they willingly step out of their comfort zones in order to face the icy embrace of the famous black chair. Will they crack under the pressure? Viewers will have to tune in to find out.”
Jimmy Mulville, Managing Director Hat Trick Productions, added: “Given how popular Celebrity Mastermind is proving with audiences it’s clear that watching them squirm answering difficult questions in a leather chair is providing a real public service in these difficult times!”
This season, the famous black chair will be occupied by the following stars, all of whom are raising money for a good cause:
