Legendary quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks is making a return to television with a brand new host after seven years off the air.
The music-themed comedy series, which ran for a total of 28 series, is moving to Sky from BBC when it hits the small screen this autumn.
The new series will be hosted by Greg Davies, who starred in hit sitcom The Inbetweeners as mr Gilbert.
Greg will be following in the footsteps of the likes of Simon Amstell, Mark Lamarr and Rhod Gilbert.
Great British Bake Off host Noel Fielding will be resuming his team captain role, but his colleague Phill Jupitus has been axed with This Country writer Daisy May Cooper replacing him.
In September 2020, it was announced that Sky was reviving the much-loved comedy show.
According to The Sun, a source said: "It’s a tried and tested format and one Sky were delighted to bring back.
"Greg is perfect for the role, Noel is in his rightful home and Daisy is a great addition to the cast. Everyone can’t wait to get it on air."
Commenting on his new gig, Greg Davies said: "I have always loved Never Mind the Buzzcocks and am thrilled to be the new host on Sky. We have brilliant comedic talent on the team and plenty of exciting musical guests will be joining us.
"All that being said, I’m so sure that no one reads these press quotes in their entirety that I’m going to finish by listing types of bread: rye, sourdough, sliced white. Oh, and cob."
Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment for Sky, Phil Edgar-Jones, added: "Buzzcocks is one of those truly iconic shows and to be bringing it back with Greg Davies at the helm, alongside Daisy May Cooper, Noel Fielding and Jamali Maddix is a buzz and a treat for lovers of tuneless humming everywhere."
Each week, Greg and the team captains will will be joined by an array of top music and comedy stars who will compete against each other.
