Comedian Adam Hills will be one of C4's presenting team for the Rio 2016 Paralympics. He will lead the team with Clare Balding. The line-up also includes Ade Adepitan, Arthur Williams, Formula 1 presenter Lee McKenzie, former Olympic champion Jonathan Edwards, plus Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte, broadcaster Sophie Morgan and former marine commando JJ Chalmers. C4 claims their team is the largest number of disabled presenters ever seen on UK television.

He will also be presenting nightly editions of The Last Leg from Rio to boot. The topical show co-hosted by Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker started life as a paralympics show during the 2012 Games.

Hills said: "From the day the London 2012 Paralympics ended, I've been in training for Rio. I've been working on writing better jokes, hosting as many shows as I can, linking to ad breaks as seamlessly as possible. It's been a long, hard road, of blood, sweat and tears - but now I'm ready to try to set a personal best at Rio."
