Celebrity Scissorhands is returning to BBC Three for a third series in aid of Children In Need.
Award-winning hairdresser Lee Stafford will once again take charge at the Celebrity Scissorhands Hair & Beauty Academy and train a new group of star contestants. Big Brother's Little Brother host George Lamb is also returning to front the show.
As usual, the Scissorhands Academy will open its doors to celebrity clients and members of the public, who will be asked to pay what they think their treatment is worth. All money raised will be donated to Children In Need.
"We are thrilled that Celebrity Scissorhands is returning to BBC Three for a third series," said Suzanne Gilfillan, Executive Editor for BBC Entertainment. "Celebrity Scissorhands is a hide-behind-your-hands entertainment show that draws viewers in, often in horror and disbelief, as members of the public throw themselves in to the hands of the celebrity trainees, all for BBC Children in Need.
"It makes for compelling viewing and we can't wait to see how the new trainees will fare in Lee's hands this time round."
The show, produced by Endemol subsidiary Brighter Pictures, will air in the autumn.
