40 years since its debut, ITV has greenlit a new series of Celebrity Catchphrase from STV Studios Entertainment.
The 11th series of the show, which first aired in 1985, will see the return of host Stephen Mulhern and Mr Chips.
“Just when you thought it was safe to enter the living room without your mum, dad, grandparents, kids or pets shouting random catchphrases at the telly… we’re back, baby!” said Mulhern.
“Celebrity Catchphrase is one of those timeless shows that unites all the family and gets everyone playing along together.
“I always have far too much fun hosting it so I’m delighted to be back and can’t wait to hear some of the ridiculous guesses our celebs come up with in series 11 – that’s the best part of the show for sure! See you soon and remember just say what you see!”
