What time is Celebrity Painting Challenge on TV?
The four-part series launches on Thursday 4th April at 8pm on BBC1 and continues every Thursday until 25th April.
How does Celebrity Painting Challenge work?
Mariella Frostrup presents the celebrity version of the series that began life as The Big Painting Challenge.
Six celebrity contestants complete various artistic challenges in the hopes of impressing the judges, acclaimed artists Daphne Todd OBE and Lachlan Goudie. Only one person can be crowned the winner.
For the finale, a selection of paintings from the six celebs will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to charity.

Who are the contestants in Celebrity Painting Challenge?
The six contestants are Bond actress Jane Seymour, musician and presenter George Shelley, TV personality and decorator Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, cricketer and broadcaster Phil Tufnell, model and DJ Amber Le Bon, and presenter Josie D’Arby.
