The popular game show, The Wheel, hosted by Michael McIntyre, returns this evening with an exciting new episode featuring a star-studded line-up. Set to air on November 1, the show follows the beloved dance competition Strictly Come Dancing and will begin at 20:20 local time, running for approximately one hour.
Launched during the pandemic, The Wheel has gained a reputation for its unique format, where contestants face a spinning wheel while being supported by a panel of celebrity experts. McIntyre humorously recounts the show’s inception, stating he conceived the idea while taking a bath. The upcoming episode promises a mix of tension and laughter as contestants aim to win cash prizes.
This week’s celebrity panel includes notable figures such as Josh Widdicombe, Chris Harris, Colin Jackson, Harriet Kelmsley, Shirley Ballas, and Frankie Bridge. Both Jordan North and William Hanson will share the double chair, adding to the entertaining atmosphere of the show.
The BBC has confirmed that The Wheel has been renewed for two additional seasons, alongside Michael McIntyre’s Big Show. McIntyre expressed pride in the success of both programs, noting, “This will take the Big Show up to its 10th series, which is an amazing achievement for everyone involved.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, emphasized the network’s commitment to delivering engaging Saturday night entertainment. “With plenty of fantastic brand-new episodes of The Wheel and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show coming to BBC One and iPlayer, there can be no doubt that Michael has well and truly cemented his position as Mr Saturday Night on the BBC,” she stated.
As fans eagerly anticipate the latest episode, the combination of celebrity expertise and comedic hosting promises another entertaining night of television.
