Jonny Brownlee, Alistair Brownlee, Robbie Savage, Scott Mills, Chris Stark, Jordan Stephens, Neil Oliver, Kadeena Cox, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Suzi Perry have been announced to take part in BBC Two's Robot Wars: Battle of the Stars this Christmas.

The two part special, hosted by Dara Ó Briain and Angela Scanlon, will air December 28-29, and Savage commented 'I am a big fan of Robot Wars so I am really excited to get into the arena and experience the fights first hand. Flipper robots did really well in the series so I hope our robot doesn’t let us down and flips the competition out of the arena once and for all'.
