This week's line-up is a bit thin on the ground when it comes to stand-up comedians, but it does boast a TV comedy star. The four competitors are Kola Bokinni, Sheli McCoy, John Parrott and Katie Piper. Comedy fans will know Kola Bokinni better as Isaac McAdoo, the captain of AFC Richmond, in the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso. 

Kola Bokinni also appeared in Celebrity Race Across the World and also, more recently Celebrity Bear Hunt. Previous acting appearance include roles in Top Boy and the Black Mirror episode entitled Men Against Fire.

Shelo McCoy is an outstanding athlete who was a successful weightlifter before hitting primetime television when she joined the line-up of Gladiators as Sabre. Mess with Shelo at your peril.

Katie Piper was a rising model in her twenties until ,her life changed when she survived a brutal acid attack that left her with severe face and body burns at the age of 24. Piper, now 41, is now a successful campaigner and broadcaster, appearing on shows including Loose Women. "I was told the most valuable currency a woman can have is beauty, but I lost those Western beauty standards of symmetry, flawless skin and was told that was it," she said during Yahoo UK's Unapologetically series. "Those people were wrong."

John Parrot is a former snooker world champion who is now a regular voice behind the microphone as an expert pundit while others play on the green baize for the big titles. Parrot, also known as The Entertainer, was previously a captain on longstanding BBC quiz A Question of Sport. Now let's see how he does this week with some questions from Richard Osman.

Piper raises awareness for burns survivors through her charity, The Katie Piper Foundation and, through her books and TV work, has become a powerful advocate for self-acceptance.
