BBC Radio 2's legendary quiz PopMaster is to get a special all day edition over the next Bank Holiday.

On Monday, May 25 the station will host a special edition of the popular quiz that will stretch across all of Radio 2 daytime, pitting famous faces against one another in a one-day battle of music trivia brains.

The likes of BBC presenters Zoe Ball, Greg James and Dotun Adebayo have been confirmed to take part, as will Ronan Keating. We wonder which of them will be 'One Year Out!'?

Hourly heats will begin on Dermot O'Leary's show at breakfast, before moving to the brainteaser's regular slot on Ken Bruce's show. Claudia Winkleman will host next, with Scott Mills overseeing the semi-finals and Sara Cox conducting the finals. It wouldn't be popmaster without Ken, who will have a presence across the whole tournament.

PopMaster has the Official Singles Chart at its core, referencing classic hits and their chart positions of yesteryear. In the final round Three in 10, contestants have to name three Top 40 hits from a chosen artist in just ten seconds.
