It's now pretty much confirmed that saturday mash-up is getting a series 2. Cbbc are doing a festvial thing called summer social and in the about page "CBBC will be broadcasting live every day of the Festival.
All the stars from CBBC HQ will be waiting to meet you and to help create their own special brand of mayhem. Jasmine and Johnny will be filming extra special episodes of Saturday Mash Up! too"

The festival starts on Friday Aug 3rd so maybe we might get a weekend of mash-up since it says episodes. That's going to be confusing for the people watching.

So we still got a while to go so let's talk about it, who do you want to see gunged on mash-up, what do you think the new series will be like.

There's probably be some new games. Hopefully they keep push off and they can add a second messy game

Came across a job posting which confirms the date mash-up will be airing.

AP (Location VTs) Saturday Mash Up - 20th August 2018 - 1st February 2019

AP (Studio & Insert Edit) Saturday Mash-Up - 3rd September 2018 - 1st February 2019

So not sure if the festivial eps will be broadcast live, they might be.

Now here's the interesting thing assuming the mash up does start on the week of 20th august it would be the 25th august it would start and it would last 23 weeks assuming no break

If it does start on the week of 3rd September, it would be the 8th of September it would last 21 weeks assuming no break.

Maybe they are filming the location eps so they can start earlier without having the studio ready.

Hopefully whatever happens we will get more mash-up which means more gunge and pies which means more celebs getting messy.

This is great news! Really hope 'Push Off' and the pie forfeit returns.

As for guests, it's really hard to know who they'll book. Any female pop/TV stars would be great tbh. Sometimes there's a bit of an overlap with radio, too, so if I'm really optimistic I'd love to see Maya Jama get gunged or pied

This is so easy for me. Saffron Barker, wearing skinny jeans and ankle socks!

She is so cute, would love to see her gunged.

Also, I know this is wishful thinking, but I wonder if Pixie Lott will return to defend her Push Off crown. Would be an awful shame if she lost this time and copped two custard pies

Confirmed now that Yasmin tweeted to a fan that wanted series 2 to be confirmed saying "Glad to be back. Saturday Mash-Up 2018" No word on start date yet but did see a twitter picture which looked like the mash-up studio so I expect sooner than later.

I'm hoping Pixie returns as well not just to lose on push off and get the pies but to be gunged as well, I'd love to see Rachel Riley cop some mess on it as well

Glad it's back, but they do need bigger names than they had. Pixie Lott was probably the biggest name they had on there. Hopefully Laura Layfield returns I want to see her get a proper gunging

We have an offical start date! it seems there will be episodes broadcast live each day from the summer Social. It starts at August 3rd and the episodes are on at 10.am

Great news, although it will be interesting to see if the messy games make their way across to the summer social- might have to wait for the series to start properly for that. Definitely worth keeping an eye on though.

Just thought of potential guest stars. It seems that the new series of doctor who will start during the mash-up run so Jodie Whittatker and the companions could be getting gunged and or pied.

The first two episode descriptions are up. Push off will be there. It also seems like they are changing the gunge segment, it is now in a segment called Question Slime.

Anyway, the guests that have the potential to get messy.
New Hope Club (again)
Sam and Mark
Ben Shires
Naomi Wilkinson
Union J

There are also a few child celebrities which aren't of age so there might not be any gunging suitable for here.

Are these the guests for the summer social episodes? Or for the actual series in September?

Naomi Wilkinson being gunged would suit me just fine

The first two eps for the summer social. The third episode guest list hasn't been released yet as it seems they release the guest list a week from the actual show.

So it looks like the 3 mashup episodes are taking place over this weekend coming. 10am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately Naomi Wilkinson is on Friday's episode when I'm at work!

Hopefully the guests for the third episode are good.

Vote for Naomi to be gunged less than 10 mins to voting closes currently on 48%

Naomi Wilkinson did get gunged, and by the end she was pretty well covered.

Few screengrabs from the BBC iPlayer below.

What channel is it on?

Wow, that was great! Certainly better than anything in the actual series.

Unfortunately, this could be the pinnacle of the weekend. All the other female guests are underage.

I think it's on the CBBC channel.

Yes, that's right. CBBC.

So on today's show Lindsey Russel got gunged and this time without a santa hat

New series starts 29th september, here's a promo for it featuring Jonny getting gunged in a suit.

Excellent news. I wonder when the guests are announced?

First week guest list have been announced and a good mix of returning and new guests

Jake Mitchell
Lindsey Russell
Houssein.

Also a new game called Muscial Toilets. Not sure whether that's a celeb game or something for the kids seeing as they're watching the show.

That's a show on CBBC and the cast is mostly underage which is why I didn't include it.

I also saw Jodie Whittaker's name mentioned, and my heart skipped a beat. Unfortunately, I don't think she's actually going to be in the studio.

Yeah, It's probably going be a vote between Jake Mitchell and Houssein. Both quite cute so won't mind them getting gunged

Would be a bit of an anticlimax if Houssein and the 'So Awkward' cast are the only guests. Just looked on the BBC page, and Jodie Whittaker is named as a 'participant'. She couldn't, could she?
