Lord Greg will be welcoming five celebrity contestants from entirely different and diverse spheres of entertainment to compete in the name of Hogmanay as they apply their skill, nerve, and grit into completing a series of intriguing challenges in the hope of laying claim to the special trophy of Greg’s Golden Eyebrows.
