Who's on Pointless Celebrities this week?
Meet the stars taking to the Pointless podiums this week.
BBC One's Pointless Celebrities is back again this weekend, this time celebrating people whose faces we never usually get to see - writers! You may not recognise them at first glance, but you will know their work very well.
Presented by Alexander Armstrong, who is assisted as always by the ridiculously clever Richard Osman, four pairs of celebs take to the Pointless podiums for the chance to bag £2,500 for a charity of their choice.
So far we've seen famous families, '80s stars, Eurovision contestants and sitcom actors take on the Pointless challenge, and this weekend (6th June) we'll see some famous writers test their obscure knowledge in a bid for that coveted trophy...
Liz Pichon and Nick Short
Children's author Liz is best known for her series of books about her character Tom Gates - if you have kids you'll know exactly who that is! Nick is a children's illustrator who has worked with the likes of Jacqueline Wilson and Julia Donaldson.
Adam Kay and Ian McMillan
