Comedian Hal Cruttenden has been named as part of the line-up of Partners In Rhyme, the new Saturday night family gameshow hosted by Len Goodman for BBC One. The six-part run starts filming this weekend in Glasgow.

The series will see four new celebrities join each episode, as contestants team up to play a series of comedy rounds, all based on rhyming clues. I

As well as Cruttenden the other celebrities hoping to win are Strictly Alumni Oti Mabuse, presenter and 2016 winner Ore Oduba, and cricketing legend Phil Tufnell. Also popping up in the series are Anton Du Beke and astrologer and media personality Russell Grant. Also appearing are Nina Wadia and Gareth Malone.

Len Goodman says: "I am really looking forward to welcoming some familiar faces like Oti and Ore to the Partners in Rhyme studio and I am also excited to be making some new friends like Gareth Malone, Nina Wadia and Hal Cruttenden. Who will be poetry in motion and who will cower at the couplets? Let the rhyming commence!"

The series is due to air on BBC One later this summer.
