Coach Trip is one of the best shows on TV - it's like Gogglebox meets Come Dine With Me plus a bit of holiday sun thrown in there... Sort of. But when the Celebrity version became a thing back in 2010, viewers knew that something special had been born.

Sadly, Channel 4 decided to halt proceeding in 2012 after just three seasons, putting the show on hiatus after the series which starred Big Brother's Nikki Grahame, Alison Hammond and EastEnders stars Derek Martin and John Altman, who played Charlie Slater and 'Nasty' Nick Cotton.

But the show was resurrected for a fourth series in January this year - and now there's a fifth season on the way, and we know exactly who will be going on their holibobs with Brendan.

According to Channel 4, the celebrity couples will "enjoy exhilarating excursions and cultural outings", but they'll still have to choose who to send home at the end of each day. The rules remain the same: "The pair who receives the most votes will receive a yellow card; two yellow cards will see them take home a red card and wave goodbye to the trip to be replaced by a new celebrity pair waiting to fill their seats."

But there's something new about this series - the fact that each episode will be an hour long! "And for the first time, the new series will see double the action as each episode will be a full hour of sun, sea and scandal on E4 five nights a week."

Although there's no official air date yet, Channel 4 promises that we'll see the return of Celebrity Coach Trip this autumn.
