Michael McIntyre's The Wheel | Series 5 Preview (BBC One)

Spinning back to BBC One and iPlayer, Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel makes a welcome return on Saturday nights.

Three contestants hope to answer their way to a fortune, guided by seven celebrity experts - but can they help them to win life-changing cash? That all depends on the spin of The Wheel.

The celebrities on the first episode of the ten-part series are Jonathan Ross, Joanne McNally, Gethin Jones, Judi Love, Niko Omilana, Clodagh McKenna and William Hanson.

The new series will also see the introduction of the 'Double Chair' - which will see two celebrities play the game as joint experts. Celebrities taking to the double chair include Chris & Rosie Ramsey and Danny & Dani Dyer.

Across the series, Michel will welcome other famous faces including Harry Hill, Ayda Williams, Gladiators' Sabre, Big Narstie, David Walliams, Ed Gamble, Ellie Simmonds, Michael Sheen, Zara McDermott, Mel B and Richard Osman.

In each show, seven fantastic celebrities are strapped to the circumference of the giant wheel. Each celebrity has brought one area of expertise to the show – and it is on these areas that the contestants must answer questions.

The contestants themselves are underneath The Wheel, on another smaller wheel! This Contestant Wheel is spun, and whichever contestant is randomly selected, rises up on their chair, to take their place at the centre of The Wheel and begin the game.

The contestant at the centre of The Wheel is in control – if they can stay there until the end of the show then they could win a life-changing sum of money. However, one wrong answer or spin of The Wheel and they’ll be back down to the Contestant Wheel, and they might never return…

Michael McIntyre's The Wheel returns Saturday 12th October at 8:20pm on BBC One.
