Meet the celebrity guests on Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft
Meet the famous faces who'll be stopping by the factory to commission crafters
Channel 4's newest crafting competition, The Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft, begins this Sunday, with four new contestants tasked with creating a sculpture of "epic proportions" each episode.
The three crafters that pass the first round of the episode are then commissioned by a celebrity guest to craft a creation, with the guest, Keith Lemon and craft experts Harriet Vine MBE and Zak Khchai choosing a winner. Each winning creation is taken home by the visiting celeb and proudly displayed in their house.
Keith Lemon and Anna Richardson present the quirky competition show, but which celebs will be dropping by the factory to judge the crafters' work?
