Comedian Kevin Bridges guest hosts ‘Have I Got News For You’ for the first time tonight, as the show makes a return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 9.00pm, for the first episode of its new 68th series.

On making his guest host debut, Bridges said: “An honour to be asked to host an iconic and long running show. My Mum is especially excited to see me on her screen again as she can only work freeview. The show should be a hoot. I’m off to buy a paper.”
