Cetinay said he doubted his abilities, but was hoping not to be the actual weakest link.

He added: “I can’t believe I will be part of the Weakest Link special for BBC Children in Need. The money raised will be going to such a good cause so I was honoured to be asked to take part.”

Coren said: “I am super excited to be taking part in the Weakest Link although it will be a bit boring for me from a competitive point of view as I know everything and therefore can’t possibly lose.”

The Weakest Link ran from 2000 until 2012 on the BBC.

:: The Weakest Link celebrity special airs on Friday November 17 on BBC Two.
