Celebrity Bridge of Lies returns for a new season on Saturday 3rd May on BBC One and iPlayer, with Kemp back at the helm once more.

Now in its third season, Celebrity Bridge of Lies has been extended to 10 new episodes after the last season reached a peak of 2.3 million viewers in spring of last year.

The first episode of season 3 will feature a team made up of some of the UK's most popular TV presenters, with Matt Allwright, Kaye Adams, Ade Adepitan and Charlotte Hawkins all trying their luck on the bridge.

As viewers will soon see, Matt is challenged to find songs with repeated words in their titles, Kaye must look for landmarks found in Italy and Ade is tasked with finding pairs of sportspeople known for the same sports.

Meanwhile, Charlotte must only step on the tiles that feature horned animals. But will any of the celebrities falter under the pressure and Ross's watchful eye?

Launching back in 2022, Ross Kemp has been at the helm ever since, and he was keen to do it as soon as he was approached.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Kemp said: "I had been sent other game shows beforehand and thought, 'I just can't see myself making that land,' but this was novel and different from every other thing out there.

"It's an original format and it suits my personality, because it's a bit of giggling and a bit of fun – and then at the end it can get quite tense!"

Celebrity Bridge of Lies returns on Saturday 3rd May on BBC One and iPlayer.
