Manford has made three appearances on the show, in the last of which, Piers Morgan called him a ‘fat northerner’.

Manford said: “’I’m going to have a busy summer with this, the breakfast show, going to Edinburgh and getting married – but I’m only young and you can sleep when you’re dead.’’

The first show of the new series will be recorded on 14 June and will be broadcast on Channel 4 shortly after.

Manford is a Perrier award finalist.

Wow, I was gutted when Spikey was leaving and thought they'd get some no mark celeb, but this is a brave choice from the producers and I think Jason will do them proud. V funny!
