Each week, the four celebrities will be joined by a guest saboteur, including Jo Brand, Guz Khan, Harry Redknapp, Olivia Attwood, Jill Scott MBE and Fay Ripley.
Contestants on Celebrity Sabotage will be taking part in the show believing that they're participating in a brand new ITV show.
The contestants will take part in the likes of cooking challenges, relationship tests, murder mystery games and event business tasks, all without knowing the shows are fake.
To help make the fake shows seem more believable, they will be hosted by special guests including Clare Balding, Rylan Clark, Sara Davies and Matt and Emma Willis.
Announcing Celebrity Sabotage, host Joel Dommett said: "This show is absolute madness.

Mo Gilligan's life off-screen including soap star girlfriend amid 'deadbeat dad' claims
Mo Gilligan is known for his role on The Masked Singer but he's hit the headlines recently amid claims he has an 18-month-old son with a model Mo Gilligan will be known on screen for his comedy sketches and his role on The Masked Singer. The 37-year-old comedian serves as one of four panellists on ITV's guessing game show and its spin-off, The Masked Dancer. Mo became part of the line-up with Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, and Davina McCall during the second series in 2020 after taking over from Ken Jeong and has remained on the show since. Away from his role on the show and stage, it has been reported that Mo has secretly fathered a child - and currently has another kid on the way. The Masked Singer star is currently getting ready to welcome his first child with current partner Taia Tulher, 28. It comes after Mo was slammed by the mother of his other child, Selina Christoforou. He grew up in Lambeth, South London, reports MyLondon, but unfortunately, Mo's parents divorced when he was five years old, which required him to divide his time between their homes. Mo expressed his appreciation for having both parents remain actively involved in his upbringing, as he said: "I think I've been very lucky. A lot of young black boys don't have a father in their lives. I love it, just me and my mum. Seal invited me to his show at the Palladium - that sounds so weird to say that - so I took my mum." The entertainer gained recognition and became a viral hit after posting comedic clips on his social media platforms whilst working in retail. Mo's breakthrough arrived in 2017 when rapper Drake discovered him. Before the allegations of a secret child, he was in a long term relationship with Sophie Wise. Many will recognise Sophie from her previous role as Carly Bradley in Hollyoaks. She has also appeared in various TV dramas and films - including brief stints in BBC medical dramas Holby City and Doctors. Until a few years back, Mo was living his mother before purchasing a five-bedroom property in North London. He said: "I looked at Surrey, a lot of people in TV move out there, but I work a lot in London so I bought in North London. "I bought a five-bedroom semi-detached house. I'm the first person in my family to buy a property so it's a big deal. A lot of my family and friends will be coming over." From beginning in a customer service role to becoming part of a huge TV show, there's no doubt his salary has increased dramatically. According to Entertainment Daily, Mo's net worth is estimated to be £18 million. Mo never announced he had become a father, but it was thought he met model Selina Christoforou, 35, online and went on to have a baby. A source said: "She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they'd been fairly careful. She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they'd been fairly careful. But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren't actually a couple. Selina went on to claim she knows how few times the star has met his son and insists she kept thinking things will get better for her "unbelievable" son. However, she said she understands you "can't make someone be a dad".

Destination X review — Traitors wannabe as iffy as Rob Brydon's blazer
The first puzzling thing about BBC1's new game show Destination X (and there are quite a few) is why the host, Rob Brydon, has chosen to dress like Alan Partridge in his Knowing Me, Knowing You era. I can see now why they needed those two buses: one for the contestants and one, presumably, for Brydon's many double-breasted blazers. Another mystery is why the programme-makers decided to make this show so needlessly convoluted and drab. Heed the lesson of the woeful ITV game show Genius Game hosted by David Tennant, which I wrote was ridiculously complicated and duller than the instructions on a tub of tiling grout. It is rumoured to have been axed already, having achieved viewing figures of only 661,000 by the end of the eight-episode run. Unless Destination X gets much better very quickly it may suffer the same fate. To be fair, it is not as bad as Genius Game, even though it seems to be mildly desperate to launch the catchphrase 'Where the X am I?' judging by the number of times Brydon said it. Destination X is billed as a cross between The Traitors and Race Across the World, but I think it is nothing like either. The beauty of The Traitors is its melodramatic campness and that the premise is fairly simple. The viewer knows exactly what is happening, who is wrong, who is right, who is backstabbing whom. Here, though, we are in the same boat as the contestants, mainly because we are being urged to 'play at home' by entering a virtual map room via a QR code on screen. My heart sinks whenever restaurants make you use a QR code to bring up their menu, so I'm not doing it on my sofa. The idea of using 'Europe as a boardgame', the contestants travelling across the continent on a bus with blacked-out windows and occasionally high-tech goggles to stop them seeing where they are, is not a bad one and could be seen as a sort of offline version of GeoGuessr, a game in which players must work out the location of somewhere in the world from Google Street View imagery. Except here they get to peer out of a 'box of tricks' in a town square at staged cameos of, for example, a bunch of tulips ('Is it Amsterdam?') or a St Bernard dog (are we in the Alps?). The person in the map room whose eventual guess is furthest from the correct location is sent home. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews It started fairly promisingly, if stagily, in a German airport, where we had the usual reality TV slop of a contestant saying effectively, 'I'll win this,' before promptly being eliminated at the departure gate. I did like the observation tests, the minor details and names they had to remember, which is a good grey matter test. But by the time Brydon had later finished explaining the unnecessarily confusing rules I had mentally checked out. The show lacked momentum, with the events feeling a bit random. I ended up not caring 'where the X' they were or who got sent home. It's not a good sign, is it, that one contestant asks to leave before episode one has finished. And if you're going to hire the very funny Brydon, why not give him more opportunities to be funny? Instead it all felt strangely humourless and as airless as that bus. On the plus side, Brydon's blazer choice for episode two is in a nice cranberry red.★★☆☆☆ Love TV?
