Gemma Collins, Vanessa Bauer, Pete Wicks and Ben Cohen are just a few of the names preparing to take their clothes off for a charity to raise awareness about life-saving cancer controls.
Jingle bells and baubles will abound when presenting duo Ashley Banjo and Coleen Nolan return to take the new band of brave celebrities by the hand and put them to the test.
