As TV Times walks into a studio on London’s South Bank, we’re stunned to see Prince Charles chatting to Elton John, while Donald Trump watches Mo Farah do the Mobot and Adele chinwags with Posh and Becks. Have we walked into the world’s most exclusive VIP party?

Not quite – the ‘famous faces’ are in fact contestants on ITV’s new game show Bigheads, for which they’re wearing the massive rubber heads depicting cartoon versions of a host of A-listers.

Each episode of the six-parter, hosted by Jason Manford, sees eight members of the public compete to win £10,000 by going up against each other in a variety of hilarious games while Jenny Powell and Kris Akabusi provide commentary. The winner of each episode goes through to the grand final.

How would you describe your new show Bigheads?

You need to see it to believe it! It’s the fast-paced game show where contestants play spectacular games while running around inside massive celebrity heads, getting hit on the bonce by giant microphones. It’s just funny and silly and you can have a laugh watching people falling over for an hour – that never gets boring.
