Faithful Joe Marler is among those hoping to help the contestants win some serious cash
Michael McIntyre is back with a brand-new series of The Wheel, featuring a number of famous faces ready to help the contestants win some huge cash prizes.
The comedian returns to BBC One tonight (October 25) with the first episode of the sixth series. Three contestants are given the opportunity to win a huge cash prize with the help of eight celebrity experts, who each pick a subject to specialise in.
One wrong answer and it’s time for the next contestant to have a go, meaning the chance of winning is equal for all participants. So, which celebrities will be helping out on tonight’s show?
The Wheel: Celebrities on episode one line-up
The first episode of series six of The Wheel sees eight celebrities act as experts, with the line-up ranging from comedians and footballers to actors and TV presenters.
Broadcaster Roman Kemp, known for fronting TV shows such as The One Show, is due to appear, alongside comedian Katherine Ryan and former professional footballer Jill Scott.
Ex-professional rugby player Joe Marler, who is currently starring on BBC’s Celebrity Traitors, is also in the hot seat, along with actress Susan Wokoma, famed for playing Edith in the Enola Holmes films.
Strictly Come Dancing star Layton Williams is due to appear, and rounding off the line-up is Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, with the two actors sharing the double seat on The Wheel.
All to know about The Wheel series six
The Wheel will air on BBC One on Saturday evenings at 8.20pm across the next six weeks. A Christmas special is also scheduled to air in December, marking the show’s first in two years.
A wide variety of celebrities are due to appear across the sixth series, with some making their debut on the programme while others are returning for another attempt at proving their intelligence.
Among the stars set to appear are Loose Women’s Frankie Bridge, Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas, comedian Josh Widdicombe and former sprinter Colin Jackson.
The latest series also sees the return of the show’s Double Chair, which is now a permanent feature. Two celebrities share the chair during each episode, meaning they have to share the same specialist subject and act as one person.
