The new series – House of Games Night – will air later this year following three years of BBC2 series where celebrities test their general knowledge skills in a variety of entertaining games.

For the BBC1 run, big names Jennifer Saunders, Jermaine Jenas, Roisin Conaty and Jason Manford will play to take home the coveted House of Games trophy.

Insiders have however noted that the show seems to have been catapulted into primetime just months after the BBC were disappointed to lose out on getting hit series Taskmaster, which instead has gone from Dave to Channel 4.
