What is The Box?
In The Box, celebrities are dropped at a mystery location where they face an unknown challenge. The task could be anything from physical to mental, logical, funny, or daunting. According to the show's synopsis: "With minimal or no instruction, they must decipher and work out what to do. At the end of each episode, two players will battle it out in The Duel, a high-stakes head-to-head game to avoid elimination."

The lineup includes Jenny Ryan, JB Gill from The One Show, Sara Davies from Dragons' Den, Shakira Khan from Love Island, and Joey Essex. In a teaser trailer, Sara Davies commented: "This is a bit terrifying, isn't it?" Gary Lineker then appeared, saying: "They're scared."
