The programme first aired on Sky One in March 2010 and was presented by James Corden for the first thirteen seasons, before Romesh took over the programme.

Fans who want to get up close and personal with the action can visit the Applause Store, where free tickets are still available so sports fans can sit in the studio audience.

And it looks like host Romesh is going to be busy as The sun have reported that the presenter is likely to host a new series of the iconic children’s programme Art Attack.

The ITV programme, which saw 67-year-old national star Neil Buchanan showcase his artistic talent from 1990 to 2007, will reportedly now be presented by the comedian.

Romesh, who doesn’t exactly have a great reputation for his artistic talents, will have some big boys to fill in his new role, as his predecessor was such a good artist that he was accused of being the secret artist Banksy.

In 2020, the rumors spread so quickly on social media that Neil felt compelled to respond to them publicly.

Speculation has been mounting that the British TV personality, 67, is the elusive artist after a Twitter user’s post about the conspiracy theory went viral.

The user, who has been retweeted over 2,000 times, wrote: ‘Just heard there’s rumours going around that Neil Buchanan is Banksy. If that’s true it’s the funniest shit ever. Aintree’s finest.

“He’s a musician and art has followed him to the cities of shows he’s reportedly done. This falls squarely into the “believe without question” category.”

A spokesperson for Neil wrote a statement on his website saying they had been inundated with inquiries from people wanting to verify the rumors.

They dismissed the suggestion, writing: ‘Unfortunately, this website does not have the infrastructure to answer all of these questions individually, but we can confirm that there is absolutely no truth to the rumor.

‘Neil spent lockdown with vulnerable members of his family and is now preparing for the launch of his new art collection in 2021. Thank you and stay safe.’

He continued: ‘We follow the Office model – just two and done.’
