TV Guide 2025-12-06

ITV tries to keep us watching all week. After the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! final (Sun) and the minetrap of Stephen Mulhern's Celebrity Catchphrase (also Sun), it's The 1% Club Rollover Week (Mon-Fri). Players who get to the final question come back tomorrow, and if the jackpot isn't won, it also comes back on the next show.
