Angela Rippon to host Have I Got News For You
A first for the former newsreader
Former newsreader Angela Rippon is to guest host Have I Got News For You for the first time.
The 80-year-old broadcaster, who will take the chair on April 25, said: ‘It’s been a few years since I said this, but Have I Got News For You!
‘And I can’t wait to hear how team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, along with their teams will mangle and mash the news headlines of the day. It definitely won’t be the News at Ten – what it will be, is a lot more fun.’
Richard Osman has been confirmed as one of the panellists, his 19th appearance on the programme with the other guest still to be announced.
