"I haven’t worked in Manchester since 1996 and seeing how it’s changed over the years has been such a joy. There are so many brilliant celebrities I’d like to see on Lingo so the list is endless." You’ve been filming the series in Manchester. "I’d love to have Kylie Minogue on the show, and also Julie Walters, Joanna Lumley and Tom Daley. You have to have lived long enough on this planet to learn how to trust your instinct and I do, so I’m quite good at word games!" There are lots of fabulous famous faces appearing on the show, but is there anyone you’d like to see play Lingo? Those elements are key to playing and winning a game, and Lingo is just perfect for both of those things. "I love to see people coming out of their shell and exercising their intellectual DNA and intuition. It’s a party for me!" What do you like about the game? "I’m so excited! I love games and wordplay! I also love it when people are open enough to be foolish and put themselves out on the line. How does it feel to be hosting Celebrity Lingo? Celebrity Lingo’s famous contestants!Įach episode in the eight-part series sees three celebrity duos playing against each other.Īmong the famous pairs are TV presenter Vernon Kay and Drag Race co-judge Michelle Visage, Fay Tozer and H from pop band Steps, DJs Rickie Haywood Williams and Melvin Odoom, and Drag Race UK winners The Vivienne (Series 1) and Lawrence Chaney (Series 2).Ĭelebrity pairings for the first show are The Masked Dancer host Joel Dommett and his wife Hannah, Coronation Street stars Alan Halsall (Tyrone) and Andy Whyment (Kirk), and Good Morning Britain's Andi Peters and Laura Tobin. The celebs will also be hoping to guess enough words correctly in order to win money for their chosen charity. The famous twosomes will work against the clock as they try to figure out where the letters go in a series of words… but it’s not as easy as it might sound! Each time a player makes a guess, they are told which of their chosen letters are in the target word and whether they are in the correct place or not. Unlike Wordle, however, the players are given the first letter of the word. The game involves guessing a four or five letter word in five attempts. Lingo is very similar to the web-based puzzle Wordle, which became a bit of a craze and a topic for water cooler conversations earlier this year. There is no news yet on when this show will air in the US.
