BBC The Wheel is looking for contestants - How to apply

The BBC One programme features a spinning wheel of celebrity experts who help the contestants answer trivia questions from their area of expertise for a chance at winning the cash prize

It has been commissioned for a third series much to the relief of fans who have been complaining about the show repeating on Saturday night. 

The showrunners have said: "We're searching for fun, confident and outgoing people who think they have the knowledge to take on The Wheel."

Will there be a series three of The Wheel?
