On hosting for a record 40th time, Alexander Armstrong said: "I can't believe I've done 40 of these. You'd honestly have hoped I'd be better at it by now. I cross my fingers after every series that they'll have me back. And I still seem to be getting away with it. Have I learnt any tips over the 40 shows on how to control Ian and Paul? Um, no."
