Little Lamb wields scissors

28 August 2008 11:05am

Big Brother's Little Brother presenter George Lamb is returning with the new series of Celebrity Scissorhands.

The son of EastEnders star Larry Lamb will present the BBC Three reality show's third series in the autumn, and professional British hairdresser Lee Stafford will be training the competing celebrities in the art of coifing barnets.

It is yet to be revealed which stars will take on the challenge of attending the Celebrity Scissorhands Hair & Beauty Academy to try and become fully fledged hair and beauty experts in just three short weeks.

The celebrity reality is part of BBC fundraising event Children In Need.

Suzanne Gilfillan, executive editor for BBC Entertainment, said: "We are thrilled that Celebrity Scissorhands is returning to BBC Three for a third series.

"Celebrity Scissorhands is a hide-behind-your-hands entertainment show that draws viewers in, often in horror and disbelief, as members of the public throw themselves in to the hands of the celebrity trainees, all for BBC Children In Need. It makes for compelling viewing and we can't wait to see how the new trainees will fare in Lee's hands this time round."

Viewers can apply to put themselves and their hair in the hands of the trainee celebrities by going to www.bbc.co.uk/scissorhands.
