Celebrities Under Pressure is a British game show that aired on ITV from 13 September 2003 to 7 August 2004. It was first hosted by Melanie Sykes for series 1 & 2 and then hosted by Vernon Kay for series 3.

Format

The show follows families allowing a celebrity to live with them for a week as they attempt to learn a new skill from their hosts. The celebrity's progress is followed through a video diary, before they are tested in a live studio situation. If successful, the celebrity will win a string of prizes for the family they stayed with, however, if they fail, the family goes home with nothing. The show relates strongly to an earlier ITV game show The Moment of Truth, which is the same concept, but with one member of the family, not celebrities.

gollark: osmarksIQtest gives me a score around 600.

gollark: It's defined as a normal distribution with mean 100, stdev 15, I think.

gollark: It's a "web of trust" thing.

gollark: This *does* essentially mean that if I spent a lot of money on some 10TB disks I could outvote all esolangs ever, though.

gollark: I mean, you can hash the data with some information which isn't available until the current timestamp, sure.
