The BBC gives the go-ahead to a new 12-part series of Danny Dyer gameshow The Wall, plus multiple celebrity specials.

The BBC has announced that The Wall is to return for a new series and more celebrity specials later this year.

The Saturday night gameshow - hosted by EastEnders actor Danny Dyer - averaged 3.3 million viewers across its most recent run, prompting the BBC to order a new 12-part series and "multiple" celeb specials.

"I'm very excited we're coming back for another series and fingers crossed this time we will be in front of a live studio audience," said Dyer.

"I can't wait to meet all the new contestants and let's hope that one of them beats that Wall and wins some severe readies."

Angela Rippon, who serves as the voice of The Wall, said: "I'm so looking forward to another series of The Wall on BBC One, and once again being the 'voice' of The Wall asking the questions for this fun and dynamic programme.

"Danny Dyer is such a fantastic host of the show, he works brilliantly with the contestants, so I can't wait to see how successful this next batch will be."

The new series is due to be filmed in July for broadcast towards the end of the year.
