ITV confirms new show 'prank show' with celebrity cast
'Celebrity Sabotage' is expected to replace Ant and Dec's 'Saturday Night Takeaway', which previously announced it's taking a break. The new prank-style show will be hosted by Joel Dommett, who will be joined by Loose Women star Judi Love, Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson and podcaster GK Barry. Together, the four will team up to sabotage unsuspecting contestants to help them win a secret cash prize. Joel Dommett, Judi Love, Sam Thompson & GK Barry lead the ultimate prank squad in #CelebritySabotage – a brand-new reality game show where nothing is real but the cash prize. Coming soon to ITV1 & ITVX Produced by @LiftedEnts, part of #ITVStudios. 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.

Celebrity Sabotage is expected to air later this year on ITV.
