Production

Filming for the series began on 24 September 2024 with further filming taking place on 25 September, 1 and 2 October at ITV Studios Bovingdon in Hertfordshire, with tickets with the public being invited to apply for tickets to be in the audience. There will also be a Christmas special as with the previous series.

Panellists and host

Prior to the series airing, it was announced that Joel Dommett would return as presenter, with Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan all returning to the panel. However, on 25 September 2024, Radio Times announced that Rita Ora had left the show to due to further scheduling conflicts and would be replaced by British television personality Maya Jama - who has most recently presented Love Island (replacing Laura Whitmore) and co-hosted the 2024 Brit Awards alongside BBC Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo and former Capital Breakfast lead host Roman Kemp. Ora was filled by Charlie Simpson, Olly Murs and Jennifer Saunders in the previous series due to her covering for Nicole Scherzinger in the American version's eleventh season and she left the British version permanently to appear on the twelfth season.^[1]
