This is not just a quiz show, it's a real mind game. My jaw was on the floor throughout the first series at the level of deception!

Amanda Holden, Host of The Celebrity Inner Circle

It's truly wonderful that I'm left to improvise with my script on this show, and I guarantee you a mini skirt, high heels and a lash on top of a brilliant show of trust - with no obligation to tell the truth!

Amanda Holden, Host of The Celebrity Inner Circle

Only the viewer at home really knows what's truly going on, so shouting at the telly throughout series two for all the right reasons is guaranteed!
