Michael Sheen has been confirmed as the host for the next series of BBC Two and BBC iPlayer’s House of Games (produced by Banijay UK’s Remarkable Entertainment). The announcement comes following Richard Osman’s decision to step down having presented the series for the past nine years.

Sheen’s signing marks the multi-award-winning actor’s debut as quiz show host. He will preside over the recording of 100 episodes that will be broadcast later this year.
