Viewers will then be able to find out how the local team of accountants did against the Eggheads and whether they took home the grand prize.

Speaking about his experience on the show, Philip said: “The whole team had a wonderful time filming with the Eggheads, but I won’t reveal if we beat them.

“People will have to tune in to find out whether we won.”

Mark Hildred, managing partner at Moore Thompson, said: “Everyone in the office is really looking forward to watching the episode to see how the team did on the day.

“As experienced accountants they have expertise in a broad range of subjects, but the Eggheads are tough opponents, so it should be exciting to watch.”
