DI Sleet will be returning to the crazy town of Successville to investigate another string of murders, with a new batch of celebrity sidekicks by his side.
In series one, Dermot O’Leary, Louis Smith, Jamie Laing, Deborah Meaden, Kimberly Wyatt and Greg James signed up for the challenge, which saw them dropped into Successville, where they attempted to assist DI Sleet solve a murder. The question is – who will rise to the challenge this time?
