There’s a new quiz show on the block vying for viewers with the likes of Pointless, Only Connect and The 1% Club but this time it’s the celebrities who are being put to the test.

Channel 5 is launching Celebrity Puzzling which pits famous faces against each other for a high stakes battle of logic and wordplay.

Each episode they will tackle a range of fun and fiendish puzzles testing lateral thinking and problem-solving all for the bragging rights of becoming the best puzzle-solvers in show business.

We take a look at what to expect.

There are two team captains on the show: Carol Vorderman and actress Sally Lindsay.

Vorderman, 64, is no stranger to quiz shows having started her career on the Channel 4 game show Countdown.

The Cambridge graduate has presented shows such as Tomorrow’s World, Better Homes and Loose Women.

Sally Lindsay, 51, rose to fame playing Shelley Unwin in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street.

The actress has starred in shows such as Scott & Bailey, Mount Pleasant and The Madame Blanc Mysteries. She hosted the Sally Lindsay’s 70s Quiz Night and like Vorderman, she has been a presenter on Loose Women.
