RuPaul to host celebrity spin-off of ITV game show
RuPaul Charles is to host a celebrity spin-off of ITV game show Lingo. The 61-year-old rose to fame as the host of reality drag show RuPaul's Drag Race, which began in the US in 2009 before spreading to the UK and Australia.
The Emmy Award-winner has been confirmed as the host of Celebrity Lingo, which will see famous faces go head to head in a fast-paced word game, as they compete to fill in the blanks and find the missing words.
Alongside Celebrity Lingo, British actor and comedian Adil Ray will return to host a third series of the hit daytime show featuring members of the public.
Lingo first aired on ITV in 1988 and was later revived by the broadcaster in 2021 with a new format. Celebrity Lingo will be screened in the autumn, with seven hour-long episodes.
