Part of the Pointless charm is its brainiac co-host Richard Osman... or at least, it would be if he wasn't due to leave after 13 years. But that means we've had plenty of time to get to know the charismatic comedian over the years, including the fact that his debut novel The Thursday Murder Club has been picked up by none other than the great Steven Spielberf.

Alexander is set to remain as a host on the show, and BBC has announced that, rather than replacing Richard with one person, a number of celebrity guest-hosts will appear alongside the remaining host. Some of the celebrities set to co-host include Sally Lindsay, Alex Brooker, Lauren Laverne, Stephen Mangan, Konnie Huq and Ed Gamble.
Speaking about the change, Alexander said: "This is going to be such a ride! Richard will still be in once a week on Saturdays to make sure everything’s ticking over nicely, but otherwise it’s just me bringing new Pointless friends in and showing them the ropes. Loads of new and fun personalities on the desk next to me.
