Celebrity Wedding Planner to return

Entertainment series Celebrity Wedding Planner has been recommissioned by Channel 5 for six new episodes across two short series.
Series three will start the New Year off in January and Series four will air during the summer of 2013.  Each episode will again feature pairs of celebrities – yet to be announced –  armed with a budget of £12,000 and just 21 days to make a wedding day dream come true or maybe not…
The celebrity duos will plan the weddings of ordinary couples, organising every precious detail including the venue, the flowers and the all-important dress.  There’s one huge catch…the brave couple will hand over total control of the most important day of their lives to the celebrities without knowing their identity.  The famous faces won’t be revealed to the bride and groom until it’s too late to back out!

Greg Barnett, Channel 5’s Commissioning Editor for Entertainment, Daytime and Soaps comments: “I’m delighted that the first two series of Celebrity Wedding Planner proved so popular with our viewers. Series 3 and 4 promises even more, drama, despair and hysteria with some very funny partnerships from our favourite TV shows”

Channel 5 state that series 2 averaged at 1.1 million viewers with a 5.6% share, rising to 7.4% amongst young people.  A total of 4.0m viewers tuned into the first run episodes of the series, rising to 4.5m including repeats across the Channel 5 family.
