Well, heres another fantastic tv event to look forward to:

Celebrity Spelling Bee

Celebrity Spelling Bee is an exclusive one off special charity event for ITV1, hosted by the legendary Chris Tarrant. Tens of thousands of pounds will be won by celebrities for their charities in an evening of drama and competitiveness.

Three teams of four celebrities will compete against one another as Chris Tarrant tests their spelling prowess in a series of competitive rounds. The winning team will then play against each other as individuals to see who becomes the best speller and therefore the biggest benefactor for their respective charity.


Another BBC rip-off, but of course, being ITV it has to include the celebs instead of kids. I defy anyone not to say this hasn't gone too far now! When will ITVs obsession with 'celebrities' come to an end? Please people - stop watching, its embarrasing! Celebrity Wrestling is a flop, maybe people are getting sick of this kind of programming now?

Btw, can I make a prediction that the 'celebrities' will include TPT, Toyah Willcox, Jordan and/or Peter Andre, a couple of Corrie actors and Sean Williamson?
