Liza Tarbuck is set to host a new five-part series titled The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, marking one of her first major television roles since her departure from BBC Radio 2 last month. The programme, a collaboration between Channel 4 and Love Productions, will feature six celebrities with minimal pottery experience, including comedian Lucy Beaumont, former footballer Paul Merson, and television personality Denise Van Outen.
Format and Judges
Unlike the regular series, this celebrity version will not have weekly eliminations. Instead, participants will develop their skills over five episodes under the guidance of judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller. Contestants will compete for points in various challenges, aiming to secure a spot in the grand final where one will be crowned the series champion.
Background and Popularity
The show is a spin-off of the popular Great Pottery Throw Down, which launched in 2015 and has gained international recognition. The original series even counts Hollywood star Brad Pitt among its fans. Tarbuck's move to television follows her departure from BBC Radio 2, where she was known for her humorous and engaging style.
The series promises to blend creativity with celebrity charm, offering viewers a unique glimpse into the pottery-making process while showcasing the contestants' progress and camaraderie.
