TWO hugely popular celebrity game shows \u2013 The Weakest Link and Celebrity Mastermind \u2013 are returning to the BBC later this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both shows finished up their most recent seasons in April this year and after months away are set to return to BBC One with brand new episodes.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Weakest Link will be the first to return, coming back to BBC One Saturday 18th November at 5:55pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan will return to host the show.<\/p>\n

This is now his third season of The Weakest Link. In the past, each season has comprised 8 episodes and four themed specials, so audiences can expect more of the same.<\/p>\n

As usual, each episode will welcome a group of eight celebrities who are asked general knowledge questions which they must answer correctly to remain in the game.<\/p>\n

When he began hosting the series, Romesh, 45, praised his predecessor Anne Robinson, who hosted The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAnne was an amazing host and to step into her shoes is an anxiety-inducing privilege.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping we\u2019ve found a way to make both the fans of the show happy as well as bringing a new audience to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anne, 79, also celebrated the new series, but admitted it would be a \u201cvery different\u201d show to the one she hosted while speaking on Radio 4\u2019s Woman\u2019s Hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s quite clever to have a guy doing it, a comedian whose approach will be very different to mine,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The series continues to be filmed in Glasgow and will return to its prime time slot in less than two weeks.<\/p>\n

New episodes of Celebrity Mastermind will follow a week later with the first episode coming to BBC One on Friday 24th November at 8pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clive Myrie returns to screens to helm the long-running quiz show, having also taken over the role of host in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, the 59-year-old BBC newsreader and presenter said: \u201cWhat a privilege it is to take on this new role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMastermind with Magnus Magnusson formed the backdrop to my youth, and now to be at the helm is a dream come true. I\u2019m excited and can\u2019t wait to get stuck in.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Celeb Mastermind, 2023 brings a new group of 56 celebs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show spans over 14 weeks, during which time the celebs will take on the famous black chair with their chosen specialist subjects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the stars joining the series this year are actor and comedian Bobby Davro; TV cook Suzie Lee; former Olympic skier Graham Bell; and BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Remi Burgz.<\/p>\n
