They've installed channel golden boy Joel Dommett as host with I'm A Celebrity favourites Sam Thompson and GK Barry plus Loose Women's Judi Love as support.
Their mission will be to playfully sabotage unsuspecting members of the public by completing daring and funny stunts.
And they'll be helped along by a bulging line-up of celebs which include Jill Scott, Fay Ripley, Olivia Attwood, Jo Brand, Guz Khan and Harry Redknapp.
But that's not where the A-list action ends.

Each episode begins with a set of contestants arriving for what they believe is a brand-new ITV show.
These range from cooking challenges and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games.
To make it even more convincing, these fake shows will have believable hosts, including familiar faces such as Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, Sara Davies and Rylan Clark.
Every successfully executed sabotage mission will add more money to a secret prize pot for the contestants.

A source said: 'Celebrity Sabotage will have everything ITV does best at its heart — fun and laughter, a huge cash prize and it's absolutely jam-packed with celebs.'
The show is set to air on ITV later this year.
I'd love to have been in the green room for this one.

Just because she's wearing a party hat in a first look at new Amazon MGM+ series The Institute doesn't mean that Mary Louise Parker is all fun and games.
The actress plays Ms Sigsby in the adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name, the director of a shady institution that kidnaps children before putting them through horrifying experiments and dishing out torture in the hopes of them developing telekinetic and telepathic powers.
The series director Jack Bender told me: 'Mary Louise's character is evil, and the villain, and even more so coming, let me tell you!'
She's joined by Ben Barnes in the series, as former police officer Tim Jameson, and Martin Freeman's son Joe, as main character Luke Ellis, a super-smart 12-year-old with telekinetic abilities.

And for Joe, the most intimidating part of the new role wasn't getting to grips of the horrors of what happens to Luke, but getting to grips with being on set away from his family.
He joked: 'I felt intimidated landing in Canada. I didn't know anybody on the whole continent.'
The Institute airs on MGM+ from July 13.
Prime Video will air a series of documentaries about some of the UK's most high-profile true crimes.

The Orkney Assassin: Murder In The Isles, about the killing of a waiter in 1994, streams from today.
The Hunt For Shannon Matthews and Hunting The Tinder Predator will follow later in the year.

A new sketch show is coming to ITV later this year to celebrate Black History Month.

Say! Less! will be packed with sketches based on the differences between internet culture and the offline reality as part of the ITV Diversity Commissioning Spend, a £80million project laid out over the next three years.
It comes from the minds behind the BBC's Munya Chawawa's Race Around Britain and Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show.
An insider teased: 'Say! Less! is a rapid fire mix of viral parodies and absurd character - it's bold, smart and unapologetically Black British Gen Z.'
Casting is yet to be announced but will showcase talent from rising comedy stars.

It will stream on ITVX in October.

Patsy Kensit has turned down Real Housewives of London – admitting her life's too quiet for the drama-packed series

I revealed last month that she was approached to star in the new Real Housewives of London, but Patsy Kensit has now revealed why she turned down the opportunity.
And it's not because the actress, who is the ex-wife of Liam Gallagher, was worried about sharing the behind-the-scenes of her life on the Hayu series.

Surprisingly, it's because she reckons her life is too boring.
Patsy told me: 'I did have a meeting with them, but I live in my little flat in London with my cat, my sons have flown the nest, and I don't think my lifestyle would stand up to these women.
'I wouldn't fit with them - but I'm a huge fan and I love the show, Real Housewives of Cheshire's Dawn Ward is one of my favourites, I'm a superfan of hers.'
The full line up features Real Housewives of Jersey star Karen Loderick-Peace, millionaire mogul Amanda Cronin, Ladies of London's Juliet Angus, Bake Off: The Professionals star Nessie Welschinger, Australian model Juliet Mayhew and socialite Panthea Parker.

Stephen Mulhern has passed Roy Walker's Catchphrase record – but reveals why he'll never copy his iconic catchline
Stephen Mulhern has now presented more episodes of Catchphrase than show legend Roy Walker – but he's not following in his footsteps quite yet.
Chatting to TV Biz on the set of ITV's Celebrity Catchphrase, Stephen revealed a secret behind Roy's famous 'It's good… but it's not right' saying, which he'll never emulate.
Stephen said: 'The reason he used to say that is he never used to wear an earpiece to the production team.

'So the floor manager would give him a thumbs up if the answer was right, or a thumbs down if it was wrong.
'So to give him more time, Roy would go, 'it's good..' wait for the floor manager to go down or up… then 'but it's not right' or 'and it's right!'. Which is amazing, really, isn't it?
'I find it fascinating that Noel Edmonds, Roy, Bruce Forsyth, all those legendary performers and presenters never wear earpieces.
'They just don't like it. Brucie never did it, even on Strictly.'

'And they just like to touch him really. People have a gut emotional response to him.'
Clarifying on the Oh My Dog! Podcast, he went on: 'Not indoors, outdoors. But then afterwards, I'll take a dog around the wards.
'And that's just fabulous.'

"Prisoners all discuss which girls they fancy — and which boys give them the hump.'

Coronation Street star welcomes second baby with unique and 'beautiful' name
Rebecca Ryan, who played Lydia Chambers on the cobbles, has given birth to her second child with husband Dan. Coronation Street's Rebecca Ryan has given birth to her second child. The former cobbles star, known for her role as Lydia Chambers, shared the delightful arrival of her newest daughter with husband Dan Acram. The soap actress announced the heartwarming news on Instagram, two years after their first child Aurora was born. She introduced her bundle of joy to her followers with a sweet reveal - and an even sweeter, stand-out moniker. "Introducing the newest member of my little girl gang, the adorable Oriana," Rebecca, 34, wrote. The name Oriana shares a Latin root with Aurora and is linked to the Latin meaning for gold, 'aurum', and dawn or sunrise, 'oriens'. Her brother Jack, who also appeared in the ITV soap as Jacob Hay, raced to share his delight in the comment section, gushing: "Proof that the first time wasn't a fluke, you make the most beautiful babies." Congratulatory messages poured in from Rebecca's Corrie colleagues, including Sally Carman who raved: "She's beautiful! Congratulations to you both!" and Elle Mulvaney who added: "congratulations she is beautiful." The mum-of-two also shared an adorable Instagram snap of Dan and Aurora carrying Oriana out of hospital in a car seat with the caption: "Family," followed by a pink love heart. Van Morrison's 'Days Like This' played over the Story. Rebecca has showcased her talent across various popular series such as Waterloo Road, Casualty, and Shameless. Prior to giving birth, she documented her pregnancy journey online with snapshots depicting her growing bump. "Sleeps overrated anyway, here comes baby No.2," she wrote in her latest pregnancy announcement. The touching post was followed by a red heart emoji. Rebecca and her husband have been eagerly showing off their firstborn daughter on social media since she arrived in 2023. Last year, Rebecca delighted followers with charming snaps of her darling girl celebrating her first birthday. Taking to Instagram, Rebecca wrote: "My darling girl Aurora, where has this year gone? "The immeasurable joy and love you have brought into my life is something I will be forever thankful for. "Your cheeky smile lights up every room, and I just love watching you grow and change every single day. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Happy 1st birthday my girl." The arrival of a second child will add another member to Rebecca's expanding clan, which features her accomplished sibling, also known for his soap work. Audiences were surprised to hear that Rebecca and Jack were siblings when she joined the cast of the beloved British soap shortly after Jack began playing Jacob. Even the showrunners were taken aback when they discovered that the two were related upon casting them as principal stars. Reflecting on the reaction, Rebecca told The Mirror: "Nobody at 'Coronation Street' had any idea. "When I joined, I'd be talking to people and say, 'Oh, yeah, my brother works here'. And they'd go, 'Really, who's your brother? What? Jack!' "It's a dream come true to be working on the show at the same time, but it's a total coincidence." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Princess Andre reunites with 'gorgeous' mum Katie Price during her Pride performance amid claims the glamour model won't feature in daughter's new reality show
Princess Andre reunited with her mum Katie Price on Saturday night as she shared behind-the-scenes clips from her headline performance at Portsmouth Pride. The influencer, 17, posted a sweet backstage selfie with her former glamour model mum, 46, on Snapchat as she supported her at the event. Princess kept casual in a grey hoodie while Katie wowed in a pink dazzling fringe jacket which she wore over a black minidress and donned a sparkling hat. The oldest daughter of Katie and ex husband Peter Andre filmed from the side of stage as her mum performed, she wrote: 'She's such a baddie'. In another selfie on Snapchat, Katie beamed in a more low-key look while Princess pouted to the camera. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Despite Katie making her name, and her millions, as a reality television star it was recently reported that daughter Princess isn't quite so impressed by her mother's star quality because she will not feature on her forthcoming ITV show. MailOnline revealed that Katie will not appear on the fly-on-the-wall programme which will see influencer Princess, who turns 18 next month, become a celebrity in her own right but her dad Peter, step-mum Emily and older brother Junior are all to have parts in the series. The programme will follow her work and home life as she prepares to reach the milestone age and last month, the popular teenager was spotted with a camera crew outside the London offices of hair styling brand GHD. A television insider told MailOnline: 'Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final. 'Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life. 'Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life.' Princess has already signed big money deals with clothing and beauty brands including being an ambassador for high street chain Superdrug, Studio London, Morphe and Revolution. Cameras will be following her around as she continues to make waves in the highly lucrative influencer world up until she turns 18 at the end of June. Despite Katie making her name, and her millions, as a reality television star it seems that Princess isn't quite so impressed by her mother's star quality But television executives have been so impressed with the teenager that it looks set to be the start of her television career and clearly don't want her controversial mother to muddy her chances at becoming a household name. Back in 2020 dad Peter launched the family's YouTube channel, The Andres, which gave viewers a glimpse into their lives. The source added: 'Princess is a complete natural, which isn't surprising considering she grew up on her parents' reality TV shows. 'Everyone working on the show has been really impressed with her attitude and professionalism. She's got a lot going on so there's plenty of great stuff for them to film. 'It's a really exciting time for Princess.' She hopes the series will help launch her catwalk career. Peter, who shot to fame in the noughties with his hit Mysterious Girl, has brought Junior and Princess up along with wife Emily, 35, with whom he has three children, Amelia, 11, eight-year-old Theo and daughter Arabella, who was born in April 2025. Meanwhile, Katie has son Harvey from her relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke as well as Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, from her marriage to Kieran Hayler. Katie and Peter, 52, started their relationship in 2004 after getting together on I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here! but their relationship fell apart in 2009 and they divorced.
