Chaired by Gyles Brandreth, Whispers is a panel show celebrating gossip, rumour and controversy.

Across several games the panellists have to spot which facts about celebrities are true, which are false ones made up by the show, and which are "Whispers" - an actual allegation of scandal that was later proven to be false.

Regular team captains on the series were writer Anthony Holden, actor Stella Duffy and historian Lucy Moore.
