HAVE I GOT SPORT FOR YOU: HOST AND LINE-UP REVEALED FOR BBC FESTIVE SPECIAL

Jason Manford has been announced as host of upcoming panel show special Have I Got Sport For You, a sports-based spin-off of hit series Have I Got News For You.

Manford will be joined by panellists Eddie Hearn and Kadeena Cox to look back on the incredible year of sport, including the Paris 2024 Olympics, Paralympics, Wimbledon and Euro2024. Further guests will be announced in due course.

Jason Manford said: "It’s such a privilege to be hosting this show — a sports version of Have I Got News For You. It’s an idea that’s so good, it only took them 34 years to come up with it."

A source added to The Sun: "This spin-off will follow a similar format to the current affairs show, in that it will take a lighter look at the world of sport. Obviously it will draw some comparisons with the now defunct A Question Of Sport, but that was much more of a straight quiz, whereas the quiz element with HIGNFY plays second fiddle to the banter."

A BBC spokesperson said in December: "Due to inflation and funding challenges difficult decisions have to be made, therefore Question of Sport is currently not in production at the moment."

Broadcast details will be announced in due course.
