Coronation Street stars Simon Gregson, Victoria Ekanoye, Lucy Fallon and Andrew Whyment take on the Chaser to win cash for charity

Bradley Walsh returns for a new run of the celebrity edition of the nerve-racking game show, with more brave celebrities who fancy their chances against Britain’s brainiest boffins.

Lucy Fallon and presenter Bradley Walsh

Tonight our host is reminded of his days on the Corrie cobbles (he played Danny Baldwin back in the mid-2000s) as he introduces the Chasers to Coronation Street stars Simon Gregson (who plays Steve McDonald), Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt), Victoria Ekanoye (Angie Appleton) and Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland), who are attempting to win thousands for their chosen charities.

Will Weatherfield’s finest hold their nerve?
