24 Hours To Go Broke is a series in which celebrity duos are dropped into unfamiliar places and challenged to spend thousands of pounds of channel Dave's money in just 24 hours.

However, there are some strict rules in place:

1. They may hire anyone or anything they need but must not pay more than the reasonable going rate.

2. The money should be spent on experiences and cannot be given away.

3. They must not spend more than 10% of the total on any one experience.

4. Any spend that goes against the spirit of the challenge may be vetoed.

The globetrotters face an outrageous forfeit if they fail to spend every last penny of the local currency.

David Baddiel and Richard Herring go to Armenia.

David Haye and Seann Walsh head to Cork.

Greg Rutherford and Josh Widdicombe take a trip to Bavaria.

Rachel Riley and Joe Wilkinson are in Thessaloniki.

Phil Tufnell and Susan Calman try to spend money in Reykjavik.
