CelebAbility was a British panel show that aired on ITV2 from 15 June 2017 to 27 July 2023 and is presented by Iain Stirling.
01Format
CelebAbility featured two teams, one consisting of celebrities and the other, a group of challengers which feature members of the public. The captain of the challengers selects a member of their team to take on a celebrity in a challenge which consists of the celebrity's expert subject. Since 2019, Scarlett Moffatt has served has captain of the challengers team, except the fourth series, which featured Stacey Solomon instead, due to Moffatt having other commitments. The seventh series featured Moffatt, as well as various guest team captains including Katherine Ryan, Will Best, Snoochie Shy and Pete Wicks. Marek Larwood also appears in every episode as the adjudicator.
