Led as before by Ashley Banjo and Alexander Armstrong, the male participants this year include Love Island winner Jack Fincham, Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher, King of the Jungle Joe Pasquale, snooker legend Willie Thorne, Crimewatch’s Rav Wilding, Dancing on Ice star Matt Evers, and footballer Jason Cundy.
The men's show is on Monday 9th May, at 9pm on ITV, and the women's at the same time the following night.
Taking part in Ladies' Night, led by Victoria Derbyshire and Coleen Nolan, are legendary tennis icon Martina Navratilova, EastEnders star Laurie Brett, Love Island’s Megan Barton-Hanson, So Solid Crew’s Lisa Maffia, TOWIE’s Danielle Armstrong, and Benidorm’s Crissy Rock.
All the participants in both men's and women's shows have a personal link to cancer: they have or had it, or someone close to them has.

I am absolutely delighted this series will be returning following last year’s successful show in raising awareness of male cancer. I am proud to be a part of such a great cause alongside Ashley and I am looking forward to being involved in another fantastic show. With this year’s group of lads we will be looking to raise the bar and ensure it’s a night no one will forget!Previous Monty programmes have been extremely successful in raising awareness of testing for testicular and prostate cancer in men, and breast and cervical cancer in women, and I'm sure this will continue with this year's show.
So that's Monday and Tuesday 6th and 7th May for the men's and women's shows, both at 9pm, on ITV.
