Welcome to the Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

could win up to £10,000.

They've only just met,

but to get the prize money, they'll have to work together.

However, eight will leave with nothing

as round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.
