Who’s on Pointless Celebrities this week?

BBC One’s Pointless Celebrities has been keeping us entertained every Saturday during lockdown, with its star-studded contestants taking on the general knowledge quiz.

Presented by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, pairs of celebs try to come up with an answer that the general public didn’t think of for the chance to win  £2,500 for a charity of their choice.

We’ve seen the likes of drag queen Baga Chipz, John Shuttleworth, Andy Crane and Denise Pearson compete so far, but which famous faces are appearing on this weeks’ family themed-episode (9th May)?
