Wheel of Fortune: Christmas Special (ITV1, Saturday, December 28, 2024)

Wheel of Fortune ITV Graham Norton

‘Tis the season for giving, and what better gift than a celebrity-studded Christmas edition of “Wheel of Fortune”? Graham Norton hosts this festive spin-off, welcoming actor Richard E. Grant, “Gavin & Stacey” favorite Joanna Page, and TV/radio personality Tyler West to try their luck. These stars aren’t just playing for bragging rights; they’re vying for up to £50,000 for their chosen charities.

The classic “Wheel of Fortune” format remains intact: contestants spin the colossal wheel, selecting letters to solve word puzzles. But there’s a Yuletide twist – holiday-themed categories and festive cheer abound. Will these celebrities prove themselves puzzle masters, or will they land on “bankrupt,” dashing their hopes of a charitable windfall?

Norton, renowned for his quick wit and affable charm, is sure to keep the energy high and the laughs coming. With Grant’s theatrical flair, Page’s comedic timing, and West’s infectious enthusiasm, this Christmas special should be a feel-good competition with a dash of holiday spirit, making it the perfect family entertainment for a post-Christmas wind-down.
