Former TOWIE star Mark Wright and I'm A Celebrity champion Vicky Pattison will be among the celebrities appearing in the new series of hit BBC3 show Murder In Successville.

The other famous faces helping DI Sleet (Tom Davis) track down criminals in the crime-ridden streets of the celebrity town are former Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Union J singer George Shelley and Sky Sports pundit Chris Kamara.

Murder in Successville sees celebrities attempt to solve strange crimes alongside DI Sleet. The celebrities will be dropped into a strange town – a "surreal place that feels like Midsomer Murders meets Sin City" – brimming with familiar faces who aren’t entirely as they seem.

Last year Dermot O'Leary and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini were among DI Sleet's sidekicks and the town was under the thumb of gangster brothers Alan and Jimmy Carr. It looks like viewers can expect the unexpected this time around too!

Filming has just commenced on the new series and producers are expected to announce a sixth celebrity cameo soon so watch this space!

The new series will be on BBC3 later this spring.
