The line-up has been revealed for the second series of Last One Laughing, with Bob Mortimer confirmed to be returning to defend his series one crown.
Also taking part are David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Alan Carr, Gbemisola Ikumelo and Sam Campbell.
Jimmy Carr will again host, with Roisin Conaty returning as his deputy, it was confirmed at the Edinburgh TV Festival today.
