Legendary Panel Show Returns with Star-Studded Lineup

A multi award-winning panel show is set to return for its nineteenth series in just months, boasting what’s set to be a star-studded lineup.

The legendary sports quiz show, A League Of Their Own, is coming back to Sky Max and NOW this Autumn – and there is still room for fans in the studio audience, reports TV Zone.

Beloved comedian Romesh Ranganathan will be making a comeback as the host, but Sky is yet to confirm whether previous team captains Jamie Redknapp and Jill Scott will be returning.

It’s also yet to be announced whether series regulars Mo Gilligan and Micah Richards will be back on our screens, or whether fans could be met with fresh celebrity faces instead.

The BAFTA-winning sports comedy series welcomes star guests from the worlds of sport, comedy, and television to the red and blue teams each week, who compete for points awarded in three rounds.

The programme was first broadcast on Sky One back in March 2010 and was fronted by James Corden for its first thirteen seasons, before being taken over by Romesh.

Fans who want to be up and close to the action can head to Applause Store, where free tickets are still available, giving sports lovers a chance to be in the studio audience.

And it looks like host Romesh is going to be busy as The Sun have reported that the presenter will supposedly be hosting a new series of the the iconic children’s TV show Art Attack.

The ITV show, which saw national treasure Neil Buchanan, 67, flaunt his artistic flare from 1990 to 2007, will now reportedly be fronted by the comedian.

Romesh, who does not have the strongest reputation for his art abilities, will have some big boots to fill in his new role as his predecessor was such a good artist he was accused of being secret artist, Banksy.

In 2020, the rumours swarmed social media so much, Neil felt compelled to respond publicly. 

The British TV personality, 67 was speculated to be the elusive artist after a Twitter user’s post about the conspiracy theory went viral.

Racking up over 2,000 re-tweets, the user wrote: ‘Just heard that it’s rumoured Neil Buchanan is Banksy. If true, it’s the funniest s*** ever. Aintree’s finest.

‘He’s a musician and art has followed in the cities of shows he’s done allegedly. This is straight in the “believe without question” category.’

A representative for Neil penned a statement on his website revealing they had been inundated with enquiries from people attempting to fact check the rumour.

Denying the suggestion, they wrote: ‘Unfortunately this website does not have the infrastructure to answer all these enquiries individually, however we can confirm that there is no truth in the rumour whatsoever.

‘​Neil spent lockdown with vulnerable members of his family and is now preparing to launch his new art collection in 2021. Thank you and please stay safe.’

Romesh also recently confirmed that his hit BBC comedy series Avoidance has been ‘axed’ after just two series. 

The presenter is well known for his work on the comedy series Rob & Romesh Vs…, The Weakest Link, and Asian Provocateur. 

Recently, he sadly revealed that his hit show Avoidance, which first broadcast in June 2022, will sadly not be returning for a series three. 

He also revealed that the show is taking inspiration from another beloved BBC series, in terms of how long it would be on air.

Speaking to Tom Davis on his podcast, the comedian said: ‘Thankfully the commissioners have taken care of that for me.’

To which Tom replied with: ‘How come you didn’t do a third series of that sitcom?’ and Romesh responded with: ‘Oh cause we just thought the story was told.’

He continued: ‘We’re following the Office model – just like two and done.’
