Leading the Prime Video game show is NFL star Travis Kelce, who also co-hosts the sports show New Heights with his brother Jason Kelce.

Fans of Taylor Swift, or 'Swifties', will recognise him as the superstar singer's boyfriend, whom he has been dating publicly since last year.

In addition to his presenting role, Kelce has been involved in various onscreen projects, including acting in Ryan Murphy's Grotesquerie and producing the film My Dead Friend Zoe.

As the title implies, Kelce won't be the only star in the series, with a host of celebrities lined up to participate.

These include Vanderpump Rules' Lala Kent, comedians Natasha Leggero and Ron Funches, ex-NFL players Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chad Ochocinco, and The Family Stallone's Sophie Stallone.

How Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity works

Before the show's premiere, here's a breakdown of what each episode will entail.

The synopsis states: "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? offers a fun, new twist on the premise of the original popular format.

"Hosted by Travis Kelce, each game will welcome an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from comedy, screen and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary curriculum, in an effort to win a $100,000 prize.

"Rather than compete against the stars, contestants enlist their help and, in some cases, can even 'cheat' off of them.

"And on the final question, worth $100,000 (£76,645), the contestant selects one celebrity to discuss the answer with before locking in. The final question is always at the 6th-grade level."

Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity premieres on Wednesday, October 16, on Amazon Prime Video.
