Big Star's Little Star is a comedy game show that has aired on ITV since 4 September 2013 and is presented by Stephen Mulhern. The show sees three celebrity contestants and their children or grandchildren answering questions about each other to win up to £15,000 for a charity of their choice.[1]
Format
Round 1
The celebrities (known as the 'Big Stars') are asked the same multiple choice questions as their children (known as the 'Little Stars'), with the aim being to answer the same. Each of the celebrities is given three questions in turn, with the children's answers pre-recorded and shown on-screen.
Round 2
The celebrities watch a series of clips of their children describing several everyday items, with the aim being to identify what their children are describing. They are awarded two points if they can identify the items after the first clue and one point after the second clue has been given.
Round 3
The celebrities and their children are given three pictures. They will then be asked a question about either the celebrity or their child and both of them must answer A, B or C, the objective being that they will answer the same, despite not being able to see each other. At the end of the round, two celebrity pairs leave the show with £1,000 for their chosen charity, leaving the winning pairs to play in the fourth and final round.
Round 4
The winning celebrity and their child play for £15,000 for charity. As they've already made it through to the final, they automatically win £5,000. In this final round, they are given 10 pairs of images that mean something to the family and are hidden behind 20 squares on the screen. The images are displayed on the screen for five seconds and then, they must work together to match up as many pairs as they can before time runs out. If all 10 are matched, the team win £15,000 for their charity.
