Celebrity Scissorhands

A third series of BBC Three's Celebrity Scissorhands is to air in the autumn.

British hairdresser Lee Stafford returns to take the helm at the Celebrity Scissorhands Hair & Beauty Academy to turn a group of celebrities in to fully-fledged hair and beauty experts in just three short weeks.

Presenter George Lamb is back to host the hour-long primetime show from inside the purpose-built state-of-the-art academy in Camden, London.

The celebrities will work, six days a week, nine hours a day perfecting their techniques on willing members of the public.

Clients will be asked to pay what they think their treatment is worth and all money donated to the Academy goes to BBC Children In Need, whose mission is to positively change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

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."
