The show featuring the 1000th contestant will have two boxes containing the £250,000 prize - the first time in the history of the game.
The week of special episodes will have a gold theme - the money and banker's telephone will be gold, and presenter Noel Edmonds is to don a gold suit to mark the occasion.
Edmonds said of the show: "To reach the 1000th show milestone in such a short space of time is testament to the enduring popularity of a show I am so very proud to present."
In addition, celebrities including Paul O'Grady, Davina McCall, Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton will make guest appearances to give messages of congratulations to the show.
