ROSS Kemp is back with quiz show Bridge of Lies – and he’s got lots of famous faces joining him.
The series – which first aired in March 2022 – will return on Saturday, with teams of celebrity contestants competing for the first time.
Ross Kemp is back with a celebrity version of Bridge of Lies
Each celebrity episode has a theme – such as Noughties pop singers
The celebrities will try to win money for charity by crossing the bridge, careful to step on the truths and avoid the lies, or risk falling off and out of the game.
The contestants in each star-studded team all have something in common.
Episode one will be right up Ross’ street, as the team is made up entirely of soap actors.
Hollyoaks star Richard Blackwood will be joined by ex-EastEnders actor John Partridge, former Emmerdale actress Natalie Anderson and Faye Brookes, who appeared in Coronation Street for four years until 2019.
In a far cry from their Noughties girlband chart battles, episode two sees Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt join forces with Sugababe Amelle Berrabah, as well as Claire Richards from Steps and Eternal’s Kéllé Bryan, in a “pop icons only” special.
