Jack DeeWell, no I haven't. However, next Friday BBC 1 have! He's been confirmed as the guest presenter for the first episode of the new series of satirical news quiz Have I Got News For You.

A BBC spokesperson said, "It is the first time Jack has been host. It is going to be a very deadpan show to start the series."

The Beeb have still not found a permenant presenter for the show after Angus "Snorting cocaine with a prostitute, allegedly" Deayton was politely asked to get his coat last year.

But then why should they care?  The guest presenter idea has been popular beyond expectations and bumped up the show's ratings considerably last series.  With guest hosts such as Martin Clunes, Charlotte Church, William Hague and Boris Johnson MP (who's episode, in our opinions, stands as a true British comedy classic) the producers have managed to "keep the show fresh" according to regular team captain Paul Merton.

Who would you like to see as a guest host on Have I Got News For You?  Use the comments box below and let us know!  Bring back Boris and his coconuts we say!
