Simon Amstell has been signed up to be the new presenter of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
Amstell, former host of Channel 4's Popworld, will replace Mark Lamarr on the BBC music quiz. The presenter proved a popular selection when he hosted an episode back in March.
Commenting on his appointment, he said: "I hope I can be the one exception to the universal, exceptionless rule that when a new host takes over an old show it is a horrible, embarrassing disaster."
