Richard Osman has confirmed the upcoming Christmas special of his BBC show House of Games – and fans are losing it over the "amazing" guest stars.
The game show, which first aired in 2017, sees a new group of celebrities take part each week to be in with the chance of being crowned the House of Games champion.
Consisting of five rounds per episode, rounds range from guessing the year an event happened to having to give the answer backwards.
Taking to Instagram today, Osman shared an exciting update, confirming that they have now filmed the upcoming Christmas special.
Osman also revealed the celebrity lineup for the show, which includes Our Flag Means Death star Rhys Darby, Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page, EastEnders' Molly Rainford, and The Last Leg's Alex Brooker.
