The team captains will be actor Sally Lindsay and media personality Carol Vorderman.<\/p>\n<p>Among the famous faces joining each week are Stephen Bailey, Miles Jupp, Shaun Williamson, Les Dennis, Gareth Malone, John Thomson, Dom Joly, Russell Kane, Melvin Odoom, Paul Sinha, David James, Ore Oduba, Scarlett Moffatt, Dr Ranj Singh, Sam Quek and Rav Wilding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to do a quiz that\u2019s so simple and yet feels so fresh in every way,\u201d Vine said. \u201c<em>Celebrity Puzzling<\/em> is one of those shows where, from the very first edition, everything fell into place with our amazing 5 team, with Carol and with Sally, and we just had the greatest fun in the studio. Not to mention burning through quite a few brain cells as we all tried to solve those beastly puzzles!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay commented, \u201cI was honestly a bit nervous about this challenge, as I\u2019m more your \u2018general knowledge\u2019 type, but even though it was really competitive at times, I surprised myself on some rounds! If you love a puzzle you will love this!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vorderman added, \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be a team captain on<em> Celebrity Puzzling<\/em>. Finally, all those years of loving numbers, words and brainteasers are about to pay off! Well, I hope that they are. Joining forces with my brilliant and really good mate Sally Lindsay and with the ever-clever Jeremy Vine keeping us all in line, it\u2019s going to be a battle of brains\u2026 and I\u2019m going to be fighting all the way, of course!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great thrill bringing together Jeremy and Sally, two much-loved stars of the 5 family, but from polar opposite ends of the schedule,\u201d said Federico Ruiz, commissioning editor for unscripted at 5. \u201cWhen we signed Carol, we knew it was going to be something really special. It\u2019s fun, warm and a joy to play along. And in case you\u2019re wondering if quiz queen Carol has still got it\u2014she most definitely has!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin Scott, executive producer at Potato, commented, \u201cThe joy of puzzling is something we cherish here at Potato, so it\u2019s wonderful to be producing the series alongside Wheelhouse for 5. This fresh take on the <em>Puzzling<\/em> format truly tests brainpower in surprising ways across a wide range of mental dimensions. It\u2019s great fun and a real challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Hugill, chief creative officer of Wheelhouse Entertainment and president of Wheelhouse Studios, added, \u201cJeremy, Carol and Sally are so much fun to watch and even more fun to play along with!
