ONE of the BBC’s biggest game shows is set to return to screens for a fourth season this month.
The reboot of The Weakest Link was greenlit for another series in February.

Now Beeb show bosses have revealed that it will start airing on Saturday, September 28.
The fourth season is going to feature a fresh celebrity line up, but the contestants have not been revealed yet.
The beloved quiz show was originally hosted by straight-talking Anne Robinson.
However, it made a comeback in 2021 with comedian Romesh Ranganathan at the helm.
Rather than having civilians tackle the general knowledge rounds in order to win a cash prize, the series now focuses on celebrity contestants.
Stars such as Naga Munchetty, David Haye, Ruby Wax and Ekin-Su have all featured on recent seasons of The Weakest Link.
In the past, each series has comprised eight episodes and four themed specials, so audiences can expect more of the same.
As usual, each episode will welcome a group of eight celebrities who are asked general knowledge questions which they must answer correctly to remain in the game.
When he began hosting the series, Romesh, 45, praised his predecessor Anne Robinson, who hosted The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012.
He said: “Anne was an amazing host and to step into her shoes is an anxiety-inducing privilege.
“I’m hoping we’ve found a way to make both the fans of the show happy as well as bringing a new audience to it.”
Anne, 79, also celebrated the new series, but admitted it would be a “very different” show to the one she hosted.
