|September 23, 2025
REALITY TV star Joey Essex and former Commons Speaker John Bercow are among the celebrity contestants taking part in Gary Lineker-hosted ITV show The Box.
-
Lineker, 64, who recently ended Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly's 23-year winning streak at the National Television Awards when he took home the publicly voted-for presenter prize, has moved to the channel after his exit from the BBC.
Competitor Essex, 35, who is known for appearing on ITV reality show The Only Way Is Essex, has appeared in a number of competition series, including Dancing On Ice and The Jump, while Bercow, 62, made it a good way through the US version of The Traitors last year, before ultimately being “murdered”.
