The BBC has announced the line-up of celebrity guest hosts who\u2019ll be joining Alexander Armstrong on Pointless following Richard Osman\u2019s exit, with Stephen Mangan and Konnie Huq among those replacing him.<\/p>\n

Osman stepped down as the co-host<\/a> of Pointless back in April after 13 years, with the presenter revealing that a rotating line-up of celebrities will be filling in for him.<\/p>\n

The likes of Mount Pleasant\u2019s Sally Lindsay, The Last Leg\u2019s Alex Brooker, broadcaster Lauren Laverne and comedian Ed Gamble will be taking turns to sit behind Osman\u2019s desk on the daytime quiz show, while Osman will continue to co-host future seasons of Pointless Celebrities.<\/p>

On the guest hosting line-up, Armstrong said: \u201cThis is going to be such a ride!<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard will still be in once a week on Saturdays to make sure everything\u2019s ticking over nicely, but otherwise it\u2019s just me bringing new Pointless friends in and showing them the ropes. Loads of new and fun personalities on the desk next to me. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

Actor Stephen Mangan said he couldn\u2019t wait to join \u201csuch an iconic show\u201d, while presenter Konnie Huq said that she was \u201creally looking forward to sitting at the esteemed Pointless computer\u201d.<\/p>\n

Osman will continue to host Richard Osman\u2019s House of Games on BBC Two but will be focusing more of his time on writing following the success of his novels The Thursday Murder Club<\/a> and The Man Who Died Twice<\/a>, with Alexander saying in April: \u201cDaytime television\u2019s loss is international best-selling crime fiction\u2019s gain.\u201d<\/p>\n
