Comedian Matt Richardson (Xtra Factor, Virgin Radio) is to join Christine Lampard (Dancing On Ice, The One Show) and Jamie East (Thronecast, Big Brother’s Bit on The Side) to front a new show, Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live on the W channel. Celebrity guests will check in each night to Britain's spookiest hotel starting on Thursday 27 October at 9pm and culminating with a finale on Halloween.

Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live is a brand new entertainment show stripped over five nights combining celebrity sleepovers, terrifying tasks, gripping ghost stories and edge-of-seat paranormal investigations, all set in a village famous for its ghostly goings-on.

Guests brave enough to stay in the ghost-ridden lodgings will be under the control of viewers. Celebrities will be voted to take part in nail-biting and riotous live investigations, experiments and group events while exploring each episode’s gruesome ghost story theme.  Jamie will be updating live from the interactive hub, within the hotel grounds.

Richardson will also host companion show Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live: Do Not Disturb, at 6pm nightly from Friday 28th October, giving viewers a chance to catch-up on the previous night’s eerie occurrences and challenges and set the scene for the evening show.

Richardson said, “What better way to spend Halloween than in a Haunted Hotel, I’m looking forward to checking in our guests and seeing how they cope with a stay in Britain’s spookiest hotel. With Christine as Jack Nicholson and Jamie and I as the twins, it'll be like an English Shining”.

Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live launches on Thursday 27th October at 9pm for five nights until the grand finale on Halloween, 31st October.  Evening catch up show Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live: Do Not Disturb will air at 6pm from Friday 28th October for 4 nights.  Watch the action unfold across W’s social channels - @LiveOnW, #CelebHauntedHotel.
