For music, costume and wigs

Three more appointments have been announced for the upcoming Saturday Night Live UK.

Pauli Lovejoy will serve as musical director, having spent over two years as touring musical director for Harry Styles' Love On Tour. He has worked with artists including Jamie xx, FKA Twigs and Florence And The Machine, and made history as the first performer at The Sphere during U2's Las Vegas residency.

Annie Hardinge joins as costume designer. A Royal College of Art graduate who worked at the BBC for 15 years, she has designed costumes for Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Blackadder and The Mighty Boosh. She has won five Royal Television Society awards and received two BAFTA nominations.

Kevin Fortune takes the role of head of wigs, hair and make-up. With more than 30 years' experience, he co-founded the Kevin Fortune Hairstyling Academy and has worked on Netflix's Master of None and English National Opera productions. 

Lorne Michaels, creator of the original US show, is executive producer. The appointments follow earlier announcements of James Longman as lead producer, Liz Clare as director and Daran 'Jonno' Johnson as head writer. 

And last week, Sky appointed Lisa Clark to oversee the programme from their side.
