Michael McIntyre's popular game show The Wheel is set to return THIS Saturday (14th November) — bringing fans another season of fun-filled trivia that'll make you dizzy.
Apart from a special festive edition which aired on Christmas Day 2025, Michael and his wheel haven't graced our screens since series six, which ran from October to December last year.
But that's all about to change, with new episodes airing weekly, bringing us more fun-filled pub quiz style questions and a whole new host of celebrities each Saturday.

What's it about?
The Wheel sees a new group of celebrities bring their specialist subjects to the spinning game show each week.
Their job is to answer a series of questions on everybody's (very niche) subjects to help three contestants win a big cash prize — although only one will take it home.
It's packed with fascinating facts and feel-good fun — the perfect mix for Saturday night on the sofa.
Which celebrities will be in series seven?
We know in the first episode of series seven, the celebrity guests are: Michael Ball, Kate Garraway, Isa Guha, Harriet Kemsley, Matt Morsia, Katherine Ryan, Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely.
Episode two will feature Italian Bach, Kerry Godliman, Trevor Nelson, Angela Scanlon, Alex Scott, Josh Widdicombe, Bez and Shaun Ryder.
When will The Wheel be back on TV?
Series seven will arrive on Saturday 14th November at 8pm, and will air weekly.
What channel is it on?
The Wheel airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, where you can catch up with all previous series too.
