News: Comedians Sign Up For Impossible Show

Russell Kane, Rachel Parris, Imran Yusuf and Craig Hill are among the celebrities who have signed up for game show Impossible Celebrities, which is making its way to primetime BBC One this summer, hosted by Rick Edwards.

Across six episodes 18 celebrity contestants will compete for the chance to win £10,000 for a charity of their choice.

In each episode, the celebrities must avoid giving !mpossible answers as they battle it out across three rounds of !mpossible style multiple choice questions. Every right answer takes them a step closer to a shot at that jackpot - but a single !mpossible answer will knock them out for that episode.

The 18 celebrities taking on the challenge are:
  • TV presenters Gregg Wallace, Angela Scanlon and Rory Reid
  • Radio and TV presenter Dotty
  • Actors Jorgie Porter, Chizzy Akudolu and Liz Carr
  • Comedians Russell Kane, Rachel Parris, Imran Yusuf and Craig Hill
  • Olympic medallist and TV presenter Iwan Thomas MBE
  • Paralympic champion and Crossbench Peer Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson
  • Steps singer Ian ‘H’ Watkins
  • TV personalities Debbie McGee, Spencer Matthews, and Vicky Pattison
  • YouTuber and author Louise Pentland

Each week one celebrity will win the prize money for their chosen charity, making way for a new contender. Joining the !mpossible Celebrities line up across the weeks will be:

  • TV presenters Dick and Dom (episode two)
  • Journalist and broadcaster Reverend Kate Bottley (episode three)
  • Actor and former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt (episode four)
  • TV personality and professional dancer Anton Du Beke (episode five)
  • Farmer and former JLS member JB Gill (episode six)

Russell Kane says: “One of the most fiendishly tricky quizzes I’ve ever thrown myself into. And Rick was very handsome.” 

Rachel Parris says: "What a ride! For me, my favourite bit was answering the Motown questions - at last a category I could get on board with! But it was all a fun, surprising and literally educational experience and I got to sit next to Debbie McGee (the lovely) and H-out-of-Steps!! Dream come true!" 

And Craig Hill said: “I absolutely loved doing this, it was such a warm fun show to be part of. My favourite moment was guessing questions on sport - and accidentally getting them right!”

Saturdays on BBC One from August 18 at 7pm.
