Here's a guide to the contestants involved in Let's Play Darts For Comic Relief...

Lee 'Hit The Board' Mack

An avid darts fan, Lee Mack grew up in a pub and at 17, and says he went on the dole so he could play darts all day. Lee has said he was convinced he would become a professional darts player. Lee beat Eric Bristow at darts at an event a few years ago. He said it is his greatest darts victory and rates himself as a 9 out of 10 for competitiveness. If Lee wins the Let's Play Darts trophy, he will keep it in his cellar, along with the seven losers who will be forced to stay there and just look at Lee's trophy all day.

Martin Adams: Martin 'Wolfie' Adams is one of the most recognisable faces of darts; he's played at every World Championship since 1994, winning the title three times in 2011, 2010 and 2007. Martin started playing darts seriously in pub leagues in 1981 and was made the captain of the England Darts team in 1993. He held the position until 2013 becoming the longest serving England Darts captain of all time. Having made his Lakeside debut in 1994 at the age of 37, Martin finally reached the final on his 12th attempt in 2005 where he lost to Raymond van Barneveld, 2-6. Most recently, Martin lost out to Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief coach Scott Mitchell in a one of the most exciting BDO championship finals in recent memory. Current BDO Ranking: 2.

Sean 'The Midwife' Lock

Sean Lock first played darts at the age of 10 when his brother got a dartboard. He rates himself as a darts player as much as the Queen rates herself as a footballer and currently describes his darting ability as "teetering on rubbish". If Sean wins the Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief trophy he is going to construct a special place in his home where he can display it. Sean's plan is to build a strip lit walkway which leads to an aquarium tunnel with sharks swimming overhead. The tunnel will then guide you to a marble staircase, where a cabinet with a button on it will be at the top. You will then press the button and then the trophy will rise up from the inside of the cabinet.

Ted Hankey: Ted 'The Count' Hankey is one of the greatest showmen in darts. His larger than life "on oche" persona has made him one of the most popular players of the sport. His walk-on is one of the most theatrical displays in the sport. He walks on wearing a cape and throws toy bats into the audience. His fans even occasionally throw bats on stage as a sign of appreciation. Ted has suffered from 'oche rage' during his career - getting angry at opponents or spectators during matches. Ted won the BDO World Championship in 2000 and 2009. Current BDO Ranking: 25.

Tim 'The Punaway Train' Vine

Tim Vine is a stand-up comedian and actor who is best known for his role on the BBC series Not Going Out and for his one-liners, which have won him several awards and a World Record.

Tim has played darts against Lee Mack on a number of occasions and admits that they both take it very seriously. On who is the better player, Tim wouldn't be drawn on an answer and said, "We'll have to see". If Tim wins the Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief trophy he will display it on his front door and hopes to be able to replace his door knocker with it. He says he will also rename his house 'The Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief Cottage'.

He says he is "fearless" when facing the dart board and believes his technique could change the way people play for years to come. Whilst training for the tournament, Bob balanced his dartboard on loads of big packets of Anglo bubble gum in order to get it to the right height. As a reward, every time he hit three darts in the 20 segment, he had a piece of bubble gum. Bob thinks he has an excellent chance of winning the tournament and believes he must be the bookies' favourite. If Bob wins the Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief Trophy he will nail it to his front door.

Andy Fordham: Andy 'The Viking' Fordham is a much loved figure in the darts community. Since his debut in 1990 he has worked his way up to win the most prestigious tournaments around, including the BDO World Championship in 2004. His nickname ‘The Viking’ was actually started by Bobby George after Andy went to see him at an exhibition. Andy says "Next thing I knew a mate turned up to see me play in full Viking gear, head to toe, and it just stuck. But it seemed to suit me, being a big man with long hair and the beard." Current BDO Ranking: 134.

Roisin 'The Wedding Slinger' Conaty

Roisin Conaty is a stand-up comedian, writer and performer best known for starring in BBC Three hidden camera show Impractical Jokers and Channel 4 sitcom Man Down. Until she started training for this tournament, Roisin had hardly ever played darts before. She describes her darting ability as "barely legal" and her technique as "maverick". Roisin describes herself as very competitive. She says she was the kind of child that would pick up the ball and take it away if she was losing. She also admits to being a rule breaker and is known to cheat at board games in order to win. Her darting strength is her "fearlessness in the face of hostility" and Roisin's favourite thing about the world of darts is the 'couture'. When asked about her chance of winning the tournament, Roisin said, "I believe in miracles".

Richard describes his darts style as "fluid and graceful - like a darting Tiger Woods." His signature move is "missing doubles" and feels that being tall is a huge disadvantage in darts explaining that a short forearm is key to being a good darts player and so tall people are naturally at a disadvantage. Richard is very competitive - he loves to compete and do his best but is not as fussed about winning. He says he is "a gallant loser."

On getting involved in this year's Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief, Liza says "I've always played darts, it's an everyman game, I thought it was a great idea. The company assembled was too good to miss." Liza is excited just to be playing with the pros, but as she has been coached by Scott Mitchell she 'likes to think a bit of her natural skill has rubbed off on him'. She jokingly says that 'she is currently negotiating for him to be my stunt double in a remake of John and Yoko's Film No 4... It's very exciting.' On her chances she says "I got two hours coaching with Scott and Gary Stafford and my game went steadily downhill. It's now awful. I was match ready, and now I'm squinting at the board with my tongue out, and my shoulder hurts putting deodorant on... bring it on."

Bobby George: Bobby 'King Of Bling' George is a darts legend, widely recognised as one of the sport's most charismatic and colourful characters, known for his extravagant entrances, love of flashy jewellery and larger than life personality.

Coincidentally, he scored 501 tries in his rugby career, making him the third highest try-scorer of all time. Martin says his darts strength is that he is always up for a challenge and won't crumble under pressure. His weakness is his lack of experience and his greatest fear when facing the dartboard is missing the board completely. Martin describes Let's Play Darts as a challenge where he will be out of his comfort zone. He says if he wins the Let's Play Darts for Comic Relief trophy, he will display it in his downstairs loo next to his Celebrity Gladiators runner-up trophy which, despite all his rugby medals, is the biggest trophy he's ever won.
