List of Celebrity Mastermind episodes

Celebrity Mastermind is a celebrity version of the British television quiz show Mastermind which is broadcast by BBC television. As with the standard show, four celebrities answer questions on a chosen "specialist subject" for a specific amount of time (usually one and a half minutes) before answering questions on general knowledge but with an extended time limit (usually two minutes). The contestant with the most correct answers wins. In contrast to the standard show each episode is treated as a single contest with the winner receiving a trophy, and the contestant's fees are donated to charity.

The celebrity version was first broadcast on 30 December 2002 as a one-off special to the usual Mastermind hosted by Magnus Magnusson. When the show returned for a full series it was presented by John Humphrys who had taken over as host on original version. When Humphrys stepped down from hosting in 2021, Clive Myrie took over hosting both shows from 2022. As of the episode broadcast on the 22 March 2024, 198 episodes have been broadcast across 22 series, including three Children In Need special episodes. There have been 727 different contestants who have taken part in at least one episode. 63 contestants have participated in at least two episodes, with three of them also competing in a third episode.
