Hills will once again be joined by Alex Brooker and Josh Widdecombe. The new series will air next year.

Entertainment Commissioning Editor Syeda Irtizaali said: "We knew The Last Leg was something special and we were in no doubt we wanted to keep the show's spirit of open and frank debate alive.

"We are working on a number of great ideas that will help push the show forward from its Paralympic origins into a broad, intelligent and entertaining series. I'm hugely looking forward to working again with Adam, Alex and Josh."

Hills added: "The Paralympics is one of my favourite events in the world. When Channel 4 offered me the chance to cover it with The Last Leg, I jumped at it.

"It's not often you get the chance to do something you absolutely love, that people seem to connect with. I thought The Last Leg was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm over the moon to think that we can do it all again. "

Channel 4 will also air one of Hills's live stand-up shows, which which was recorded in December at the Lyric Theatre in London's West End.
