Sarah Hadland is an actress who gained popularity playing Stevie Sutton in the BBC comedy Miranda (2009-2015) and Trish in The Job Lot (2013-2015).
Her other acting roles in both TV and film include Horrible Histories, Quantum of Solace and Leap Year.
I was so impressed watching Layla Hadland on Strictly Come Dancing last year! She and her partner, Vito Coppola, made it all the way to the final – it was incredible to see their journey.
This Christmas, viewers can also watch Hadland compete on The Celebrity Apprentice to see how she does in the business challenges.
Tim Vine
Age: 58
Job: Comedian

Tim Vine is a comedian and actor who became popular for his role in the TV show Not Going Out (2006-2012). However, he first appeared on television much earlier, in 1994 on the BBC One show Pebble Mill.
His other TV appearances include Taskmaster, Football Genius, The Chase and Celebrity Squares.
And if his surname rang a bell, you’re on the right track, as his brother is presenter Jeremy Vine.
Colin Murray
Age: 48
Job: Radio presenter
Instagram: @mrcolinmurray
Colin Murray is a well-known TV and radio host, best known for hosting the game show Countdown since 2022.
Murray started his broadcasting career in 2006, hosting the comedy show Fighting Talk on BBC Radio 5 Live. He later became the presenter for UEFA Cup football coverage on Channel 5.
Amber Gill
Age: 28
Job: TV personality
Instagram: @amberrosegill
Amber Gill became well-known after winning the reality TV show Love Island in 2019. She’s been a TV personality ever since.
I’ve been following her career, and it’s been fun to see her take on some really different challenges lately! She was on ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Win,’ which looked intense, and then she showed off her knowledge on ‘Celebrity Mastermind’ and her skills on ‘CelebAbility.’ It’s great to see her branching out!
Gill published her first novel, Until I Met You, in 2022, and recently released a holiday romance called One Summer in Miami.
The Festive Pottery Throw Down airs on Channel 4 on Friday 26th December at 7:45pm.
