What is Celebrity Painting Challenge?
Celebrity Painting Challenge is a brand new series on BBC One which stems from the hit show The Big Painting Challenge.
This time the show has six famous participants who are picking up their paint brushes in hopes of being crowned champion.
The show’s 2019 line up includes the likes of George Shelley, Phil Tufnell, Jane Seymour, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Amber Le Bon and Josie d’Arby.
Who are the judges?
You can’t have a TV competition show without a top judging panel, and Celebrity Painting Challenge has just that.
Check out who will be grading the celebrities artwork below…
Daphne Todd OBE
Daphne Todd is best known in the art world for her painted portraits, having studied at the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art.
Over her career, she has received some serious artistic accolades including the BP Portrait Award from the National Portrait Gallery.
In 2002 she received the royal stamp of approval when she awarded an OBE for her services to the Arts and she even has a portrait drawing in the collection of Her Majesty The Queen.
Now she has a studio on her family farm in East Sussex, where she spends her time painting when she isn’t acting as a judge on The Big Painting Challenge and Celebrity Painting Challenge.
