Katherine Parkinson is to guest host Have I Got News For You for the first time. 

 

She will host episode 3 on Friday 18th April, available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 9pm. 

 

On hosting for the first time, Katherine said: "It’s such an honour to present this institution of a show, one that I’ve enjoyed watching for years. I really hope I can read the autocue, I think I probably need glasses now. I suppose we’ll find out."

 

Joining her on the panel will be comedy legend Julian Clary, as well as Financial Times columnist Jemima Kelly.
