Vick Hope and Sally Phillips are among the stars who are to guest co-host Pointless
The Radio 1 DJ and the 'Miranda' actress will team up with Alexander Armstrong on the BBC One show, after Richard Osman stepped down as co-host in 2022, and the 'Smack the Pony' star is looking forward to being the "answer police" on the programme.
Sally said: "I am so looking forward to trying Richard Osman’s big shoes on and being the answer police on 'Pointless'.
"I am certain the power of the Pointless laptop will go to my head, and I will become insufferable, which I am also really looking forward to."
Vick added: “What an absolute joy to get quizzy at teatime on the most iconic game show around!
"I love 'Pointless', am obsessed with trivia and quizzes, and can’t wait to join Xander and the contestants every day from Richard’s hot seat. One very excited pointless co-host incoming."
Andi Oliver, Gyles Brandreth, Nish Kumar, Lucy Porter, Ria Lina, and Rose Matafeo will also team up with Alexander.
Since Richard quit the show, guest presenters so far have included Sally Lindsay, Lauren Laverne, Stephen Mangan, Konnie Huq, Alex Brooker and Ed Gamble.
Alexander said: "It has been a really fun process sharing the hosting with so many different guests.
"They have all brought their own styles and senses of humour, keeping the show fresh and exciting every time and I can’t wait to welcome more celebrity hosts to the show this year."
Nish added: "I can’t wait to sit behind the desk and give out all the clever answers and obscure facts, as if I knew any of them.
"Richard’s shoes are definitely big ones to fill, but I am looking forward to it very much."
