When does Celebrity Sabotage start, and how many episodes will there be?
Celebrity Sabotage launches on ITV1 and ITVX on Saturday, March 21.
The series will run for six episodes across the weekends, featuring a host of familiar faces ready to entertain the nation with their mischievous antics.
How does it work?
The new series has well-known celebrities carry out secret acts of sabotage against unsuspecting contestants.
From a hidden headquarters, the Celebrity Saboteurs monitor every move, completing covert missions to throw contestants off their game. Each successful disruption adds to the prize pot, but if they’re spotted, the players face tough choices.
Contestants arrive thinking they’re taking part in a normal ITV show, hosted by one of the fake celebrity presenters. Formats vary from cooking competitions and relationship challenges to corporate-style tasks and whodunit mysteries.
“Celebrity Sabotage is a unique combination of hidden camera, reality, and gameshow, delivering big laughs with a fantastic celebrity cast. We are delighted to bring this exciting new format to the ITV audience,” said Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment and Daytime.
Who are the Celebrity Saboteurs and celebrity guests?
Four Celebrity Saboteurs — Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson, GK Barry and Judi Love — will mastermind the chaos.
They’ll be joined by a rotating cast of guest stars, including Olivia Attwood, Jill Scott, Fay Riply, Jo Brand, Harry Redknapp and Guz Khan.
Meanwhile, the faux hosts bringing the different show formats to life include Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Sara Davies, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, and Rylan Clark.
What are the prizes?
The cash prize changes each episode, keeping the pressure on the Saboteurs.
Each successful disruption grows a hidden fund, revealed at the end and split among the contestants — often leaving them stunned.
