I'm looking forward to welcoming familiar faces like Oti and Ore to the studio, and I am excited to be making some new friends like Gareth Malone, Nina Wadia and Hal Cruttenden
The Panda Television series will see four new celebrities join each episode, as contestants team up to play a series of comedy rounds, all based on rhyming clues. It is co–produced with AOP (Accidentally On Purpose).
Among the celebrities hoping to win the whizz of a quiz are Strictly Alumni Oti Mabuse, presenter and 2016 winner Ore Oduba, and cricketing legend Phil Tufnell. Also popping up in the series are Anton Du Beke and astrologer and media personality Russell Grant.
Also appearing are Nina Wadia, Hal Cruttenden and Gareth Malone.
Len Goodman says: "I am really looking forward to welcoming some familiar faces like Oti and Ore to the Partners in Rhyme studio and I am also excited to be making some new friends like Gareth Malone, Nina Wadia and Hal Cruttenden. Who will be poetry in motion and who will cower at the couplets? Let the rhyming commence!"
There's no end to the rhyming pairs, providing great play along for the studio teams and viewers at home.
Commissioned by Kate Phillips, Controller of Entertainment and Jo Wallace commissioning editor for the BBC, the series is due to tx on BBC One later this summer. Series Producer is Anna Meadows.
