As we've mentioned, Ant and Dec will be joined by two pairs of stars to help kick off the new season of Limitless Win. 

In place of normal contestants, Katherine Ryan and Jimmy Carr and Rylan Clark and David Walliams will be teaming up to take on the bigger-than-ever money ladder and trying to bag plenty of money for their charities.

Talking about the gameplay, Ant said: "‘The celebrities come in and it all starts out quite fun, with lots of laughs. But as soon as they get up the ladder and they’re playing for money, and for charity, then the pressure hits them and everything changes.

He added: "For one celeb pair, their first question is related to Christmas and everyone will know the answer to it. But as soon as it comes to them physically locking it in, well, they just lose their bottle! It shows that you can be clever and know your stuff, but there’s also got to be an element of bravery to walk away with a serious amount of cash!"

How does Ant & Dec's Christmas Limitless Win work?

Fans of Ant & Dec's Limitless Win will be right at home with the festive special, as the celebs will be tackling a range of fiendish new questions to try and climb the ladder (which has been given a makeover and made bigger-than-ever for season 2!). 

Some of the questions they've teased so far include 'How many segments are in a chocolate orange' and 'How long is a man's size 10 foot in centimeters'; our celebrity guest stars will definitely need their thinking caps on!

Dec said: "We got a lot of feedback after the first series with people saying, ‘This is really tense! It’s hard to watch, it’s nerve-shredding!’ and this year it’s even more so. Sorry guys! We get higher up the ladder and more often. Contestants are nervous and stressed… they’re playing for very, very big sums of money. It’s really nerve-wracking. Very, very tense at times with a lot of jeopardy, but God it’s really watchable!"
