Celebrity Wheel of Fortune UK was on ITV1, following the recent revival which saw Graham Norton hosting the main show.

The eight-part series of Wheel of Fortune UK saw a group of hopefuls leaving their fates in the hands of a giant carnival-style wheel which would determine what prizes they won.

Contestants were also invited to solve word puzzles based on a clue, where they'd spin the wheel to pick letters, hoping to be the first to solve and win a big cash prize.

Now we've seen the main series, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune welcomed six big names who were taking on the challenge in the hopes to win for their chosen charities, which were revealed on the night.

Here's everything you need to know about Celebrity Wheel of Fortune...

Just like the regular Wheel of Fortune UK, Graham Norton was on presenting duties and oversaw the three celebrities all hoping to win big for charity.

Speaking about his time hosting Wheel of Fortune, Graham Norton told us: "It was lovely to be asked to do this. Over the years I have done gameshow pilots and they’ve always been new formats, there is always a moment when you are doing a new game show when you realise ‘Oh that’s why this won’t work’. 

"With the Wheel of Fortune, it’s a tried and tested formula. It's been running for fifty-one years in America so that is what gave me the confidence to say yes, the game is really strong."

How did Wheel of Fortune work?

In Wheel of Fortune, contestants spun the titular wheel, which contained a variety of cash prizes. They solved a word puzzle by trying to reveal letters and guessing what it is, and each time they guessed correctly, they won multiples of cash.

However, the Wheel had some bad outcomes too, where players can lose a turn or go bankrupt and lose everything!

In the original series, contestants also won prizes, including a holiday, which were added to their cash pot to help them reach the bonus round at the end, but this may have been structured differently in the celebrity spin-off. 

Is there a trailer?

There was no trailer released for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
