Angus Deayton returns to host Would I Lie To You?
Ex-Have I Got News For You? Host Angus Deayton is to return to the BBC in a new prime-time panel show. The show is called Would I Lie To You? and will feature comedians David Mitchell and Lee Mack as team captains and Angus Deayton will host the show.
Angus Deayton left “Have I Got News For You?” in 2002 after admitting to taking cocaine and having sex with a prostitute. The team leaders Ian Hislop and Paul Merton had too much “dirt” on him to make his role as host viable.
According to the Daily Mail, despite being “pretty nervous” about his return, the star has proved typically well-rehearsed in his trademark comedy during filming.
Speaking to the newspaper, executive producer Peter Holmes said categorically: “When it comes to hosting a panel show, there isn’t anyone better.”
