Eight celebrities with a passion for darts step up to the oche to see if they have what it takes to become the first Showbiz Darts Champion.

Under the tutelage of darts legend Bobby'‘The King of Bling' George and 2004 World Champion Andy 'The Viking' Fordham, famous faces like Johnny 'The Saint' Vegas; Phil 'The Cat' Tufnell; Rowland 'Right Here' Rivron; Vicki 'The Vixen' Butler- Henderson; Keith 'Cheggers' Chegwin and James 'The Galloping Major' Hewitt will don their very own monogrammed satin shirts and flex their throwing arms.
