Legendary BBC game show returning to screens this year with fresh celebrity line-up
A LEGENDARY BBC game show is set to return to screens this year with a new celebrity lineup.
Bosses at the corporation have reportedly renewed The Weakest Link‘s reboot for a fourth series.
The beloved game show, which was originally hosted by straight-talking Anne Robinson, returned in 2021.
Romesh Ranganathan has taken over the reigns with the show now focusing on celeb specials rather than civilians.
Stars such as Naga Munchetty, David Haye, Ruby Wax and Ekin-Su have all played the game.
The Sun has contacted the BBC for comment.
In the past, each series has comprised eight episodes and four themed specials, so audiences can expect more of the same.
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.
When he began hosting the series, Romesh, 45, praised his predecessor Anne Robinson, who hosted The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012.
He said: “Anne was an amazing host and to step into her shoes is an anxiety-inducing privilege.
“I’m hoping we’ve found a way to make both the fans of the show happy as well as bringing a new audience to it.”
Anne, 79, also celebrated the new series, but admitted it would be a “very different” show to the one she hosted.
