JLS' Aston & JB and Greg James & Hilary Devey play Million Pound Drop

21 June 2013

There will be some familiar faces joining in the fun for the latest series of The Million Pound Drop Live. First up we have Aston Merrygold and J.B. Gill from Brit and MOBO award winning boyband JLS. Aston and J.B. take on The Drop in the hopes of winning big for their charity the JLS Foundation in conjunction with Cancer Research UK.

 

And in the last show of the series Radio One DJ Greg James pairs up with his celeb pal, hardened business woman and entrepreneur Hilary Devey. Greg and Hilary will be hoping to beat The Drop and win some serious cash for their chosen charities the Stroke Association and the Carers Trust.

 

In an exciting new twist to the show this series, players can risk it all on one last question for a chance to double their winnings and walk away with a life-changing amount of cash.

 

With Davina McCall at the helm, players must try to keep hold of a million pounds in real cash. And there are now just 7 questions standing between our players and a fortune, but it's going to be tougher than ever to make it to the final question. Players must be brave and have nerves of steel to beat The Drop, as one false move could literally see thousands of pounds drop through the floor.

 

For the first time ever, teams of four can also take on The Million Pound Drop. They might be friends, family or work colleagues. Their relationships will be put to the ultimate test. With the clock ticking, the pressure is on.

 

Viewers at home can play with a virtual million pounds alongside the contestants with the hugely successful play along online game or with The Million Pound Drop mobile app which has now been downloaded over 1.7 million times making it Channel 4’s most successful programme app.

 

The series was ordered by Entertainment Commissioner Syeda Irtizaali. Cat Lawson is Series Producer and the Executive Producers are David Flynn, Michelle Woods and James Fox.
