Jason Manford lined up to replace Adrian Charles on The One Show

Comerdian Jason Manford has been lined up as the new host of the BBC’s The Once Show.

Manford, who is set to replace the current host Adrian Charles on one of the corporations flagship show in July, will co-host with Christine Bleakley every Monday to Thursday.
Manford has said that he was ‘thrilled’ to be joining the team.

The One Show editor Sandy Smith said that Manford, who is also a team captain for comedy panel show 8 out of 10 cats, had the perfect combination of wit and warmth to fill the role:

"Jason's strength is his likeability, his natural warmth and his quick wit.

"He's intelligent and curious about the sort of subjects discussed every day on The One Show and is equally at home with the light-hearted and serious issues."

Charles announced that he was leaving the BBC after signing a four-year deal with GMTV earlier this year.
