Celebrity Scissorhands returns in aid of BBC Children in Need

Renowned British hairdresser Lee Stafford returns to take the helm at the Celebrity Scissorhands Hair & Beauty Academy and attempt the impossible – to turn a team of stars into fully-fledged hair and beauty experts in just three short weeks.

 Amongst this year's celebrity trainees are: The Apprentice's Lucinda Ledgerwood, ex-EastEnders actress Shana Swash; R&B singer and MOBO nominee Jay Sean and Stedman Pearson from Eighties pop sensation Five Star.

 Also returning to Scissorhands is pop icon Steve Strange. This year Steve has a new role as the academy's Image Consultant.

 Whether clients require a new look for a wedding, job interview or hot date, from their hair, make-up and clothes, Steve will be able to offer a personalised package for any brave client.

 The celebrities will be working flat out, six days a week, nine hours a day, perfecting their techniques on willing members of the public.

 Clients will be asked to pay what they think their treatment is worth and can also be sponsored for their haircuts and treatments.

 All money donated to the Academy goes to BBC Children in Need, whose mission is to positively change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

 Presenter George Lamb (Make My Body Younger, Big Brothers Little Brother) is back to host the hour-long primetime show from inside the purpose-built state-of-the-art academy in Camden, London.

 The celebrity snippers will have their scissor skills put to the test in a spectacular grand finale where a panel of judges will decide which celebrity will be crowned Celebrity Scissorhands Hairdresser of the Year 2008.

 Which celebrity trainee will prove they are a cut about the rest? One thing is for sure, things will definitely get hairy within the walls of the Academy.

 Viewers can participate in Celebrity Scissorhands by applying online at the newly re-designed website - bbc.co.uk/scissorhands - for the chance to get an appointment.

 The full website presence, to be launched in conjunction with the transmission of the programme, will comprise trainee profiles, all the latest news, haircut gallery and videos.
