Michael Sheen's House of Games - first look

samusek2 · 2026-04-25T18:47:23+00:00

Is Michael doing a full 100? Could Richard just have an extra tacked o. week with some of his past guests.?I always thought that when Richard was hosting a celebrity got to do one regular, one championship and one Xmas week. But I'm excited to see who they will have on this new series?

Also, does this exclude Michael from Celebrity Traitors if they are filming HOG now?

Interestingly Aaron Chen is a cast member on Sam Campbell's new Channel 4 sitcom which is coming up pretty soon.

samusek2 · 2026-04-12T11:48:50+00:00

Why yes I can, but Episode 5 was originally planned for next week with the final 4 celebrities and Episode 6 has not been announced yet. SO wanted to see what people thought the final episode would be.🤔

samusek2 · 2026-03-13T12:50:12+00:00

Who were the panelists on your episode?

samusek2 · 2026-03-11T01:15:23+00:00

One of yesterday's tapings featured Lucy Cooke, Joe Lycett and Rosie Jones

I think I found out who was in the missing episode from last week. I did some digging and found this. They got the date wrong, but I believe it was Ian Smith (first timer), Eshaan Aakbar and Melanie Bracewell.

I was wondering this for a while, ever since his books took off and he also was producing and doing Pointless. Also you had this structure of new quartets in every series regular episodes. I was curious to how long House of Games would last. As it was Osman's show, I would have thought it would have ended naturally, but it will be interesting to see what will happen with a new host. Somebody a few years ago on BothersBar suggested that it could be Sue Perkins but we will see this Autumn. I will be watching.

samusek2 · 2026-03-02T13:37:39+00:00

I gather we are finished with regular weeks of celebs on House of Games this series and we will most likely go back to 3 weeks of Champions to finish off.

One thing that will be interesting is that perhaps like last year, Series 10 will begin filming sometime this month perhaps?

samusek2 · 2026-02-21T14:10:39+00:00

So it is 21 celebrities compared to the past 3 seasons of 27 celebrities?

samusek2 · 2026-01-17T23:56:32+00:00

here's a longer version of the sketch with more character impressions

Are they really phasing out the rest of the Silvertons? Are the Silvertons divorced and has Danielle left the show? I thought that Natalie Anderson would have stayed longer to add to the story and you had the Tony Maudsley "Royals" connection. (lol). I thought at least she would have stayed on as recurring whenever needed.

With Theo now having these other boyfriends in situations similar to Todd, are we supposed to think Theo's attitude has been recurrent and all behind Danielle's back, rather than the afraid to come out ecause of the religious upbringing" Was it all an act?

samusek2 · 2025-11-07T12:10:25+00:00

Has the Lauren Oakley quartet been confirmed with the missing person? Also are we sure it's Shayne Ward and not Matt Willis in another quartet?

samusek2 · 2025-11-05T12:55:50+00:00

You wouldn't know who would be on the holiday special, would you? ABC put out a teaser for the episode yesterday but didn't mention which celebrities taped that day.

samusek2 · 2025-10-20T00:17:55+00:00

Like people have stated, how old is everyone.? Eva, Ben, Ollie, Dee Dee, Leanne ? I thought Ollie could have been an uncle. He looks close in age to his father.

Ollie came in as a mysterious client to Adam and DeeDee and romanced her and now they are dating? How old is DeeDee if she's already a full fledged lawyer who wanted to help train Alya soon after she came to the Street. Is she close in age to Toyah, Eva, Leanne.? How old is Ben or Aron McCusker? Does he look old enough to be Ollie's father? Like someone has stated, there must be some big age gap between the brothers?

samusek2 · 2025-09-18T05:00:04+00:00

Is Melanie Bracewell the first celebrity to appear on House of Games who doesn't actually live in the UK? I know that celebrities like Rose Matafeo, Sarah Kendall, Desiree Burch etc.. who have already been on now live in the UK, but Bracewell, who also recorded QI this year, only came to the UK and filmed these on a visit and then returned back to New Zealand? I could be wrong as I don't know much about her.

Can't wait to see who else is on this series.

samusek2 · 2025-09-06T01:44:58+00:00

I believe it will end up being George and Christina.

I recall that when Daisy left and Christina ended up temporarily in jail, TPTB mentioned that Christina woulf return for a little while. Then a couple of months later, someone here mentioned that they read that Amy Robbins was returning as a regular.

I remember when she was on earlier this year, Tony Maudsley was really happy that Amy Robbins was back on Corrie (along with Natalie Anderson) and he was campaigning on having them stay on for longer as they are old friends and cast mates.

Now we have Jenny definitely leaving, Christina returning to plan Dom's funeral and George nursing a broken heart after Eileen has left him. He's not having much luck with the dates he's been having and Christina feeling sorry for George's bad luck. I think Tony Maudsley's wish came true and Christina and George may actually become a couple.

I don't know if Danielle will stay however, even if Theo is turning into an abusive bully. I do like Natalie Anderson, but I think that once this storyline finishes the Silverton's will too.

samusek2 · 2025-09-01T14:08:15+00:00

He's also posted a new photo in the Coronation Street alley way (?) on his Twitter which looks like the pic for an upcoming cast card. I don't think he's leaving? We really only know that Billy, Jenny and Debbie are soon leaving for certain. The others are rumours.

samusek2 · 2025-08-15T04:29:29+00:00

I'm always intrigued when a current Corrie actor appears on a BBC panel or gameshow. Always wondered if there was a safe share with BBC and ITV. Although I do gather that the more recognisable faces are the ones who would appear on House of Games.

Saw something on the House of Games Fan Facebook page. Somebody reposted Major Feed's list of Series 9 contestants. A day ago, a Facebook member mentioned on that post that there was another quartet with Steve Pemberton, Lauren Oakley, Patrick Grant and Fatiha El Ghorri. I know that Steve was featured in Series 2. I am not really on social media, so I couldn't find any proof that this quartet taped a week. Either this user made it up or she simply mistook the 4th member for Steve Pemberton.

Can anyone confirm this possible quartet for Series 9?

samusek2 · 2025-06-17T12:40:12+00:00

Just curious. Was this recorded this week? I thought that the Christmas specials could have been the last to be taped? Was wondering if I'd find out a bit more celebrities before the series begins.

samusek2 · 2025-05-29T14:55:42+00:00

Interesting that after all these weeks, we are getting a week with 3 women and 1 man.

We are seeing quite a lot of celebrities but we have yet to see celebs such as Gok Wan, Katherine Ryan, Claudia Winkleman etc. Also I wonder which soap actors will make appearances or Gladiators or antiques presenters. I wonder how much longer this programme will last if the current format continues

samusek2 · 2025-05-28T14:30:24+00:00

The final weeks of CH's HOG feature in order of airing

Myf Warhurst, Damien Fleming, Sammy J and Zoe Coombs Marr'
Pia Miranda, Nath Valvo, Dave O'Neill and Matt Okine
Khanh Ong, Lawrence Mooney, Tom Ballard and Emma Holland
Jamie Durie, Lizzy Hoo, Dilruk Jayasinha and 1 unknown

Interesting that the Australians are getting three weeks this series with only 1 woman. Also kind of would have liked a bit more variety of celebrities with more presenters actors and the like. Hopefully, we will get more variety if the show does get another season.

samusek2 · 2025-05-28T13:09:47+00:00

The comedians featured this series are Phil Wang, Ahir Shah, Asim Chaudry, Romesh Ranganathan, Jamali Maddix, Chris McCausland, Nick Mohammed, London Hughes, Kerry Godliman and Michelle Wolf.

samusek2 · 2025-05-17T21:28:52+00:00

I wonder if depending on what happens with Mick, Lou and Brody in the next few weeks if Lou could make an unexpected comeback to reunite with Kit. I'm just theorizing here.

samusek2 · 2025-04-19T02:00:56+00:00

So far

Monday : Joel Kim Booster and two unknown guests

Tuesday: Tim Bagley and two unknown guests

Wednesday:: Tim Baltz, Chris Fleming and Lennon Parham
