Pointless Celebrities is airing a special Wales edition this weekend

Pointless Celebrities is back this weekend.

The popular quiz show hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman will present a special Wales edition of the general knowledge quiz ahead of St David's Day.

The teatime quiz show will have a line-up of Welsh stars, including famous actors, athletes and singers on Saturday, February 29.

The show usually welcomes guests from the general public to take part and sees pairs of contestants answer a series of general knowledge questions.

Between them they must try to get the answers that no-one else could think of.

On Saturday four teams of Welsh contestants will try their luck.

The show starts at 7.45pm on BBC One.

But who is on the show and which celebrities have paired up for the quiz?
