The celebrity version of the programme begins a week earlier on Tuesday 9 March and will see the likes of Denise van Outen, former Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron Barker and radio DJ Melvin Odoom try their hand at catfishing, all in the name of charity. Also joining is Lady Leshurr, Duncan James and Loose Women stars Nadia Sawalha and Kaye Adams.
The popular game show, which has been dubbed Big Brother meets Black Mirror, first premiered in 2018 and was an immediate hit with viewers and has since spawned many international versions - all of which have been filmed in the purpose-built apartment building in Salford, Manchester.
