YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ANDY MURRAY LIKE HE IS ON THIS SHOW

NOW in its 15th series, A League Of Their Own is one of the most successful panel shows on TV.

It’s won Baftas, versions have been produced around the world, and it attracts big-name sports stars as guests (this series features Dina Asher-smith, Andy Murray, Eddie Hearn, and Anthony Joshua).

Travel restrictions because of Covid-19 have meant longtime frontman James Corden, who is based in the US, is unable to be in the studio, but producers are working hard to have him involved in some way.

Meanwhile, comedian Romesh Ranganathan is taking over principal hosting duties (he will present six episodes, while co-stars Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff will present one each).

Here, they tell us everything we need to know about the new episodes.

WHEN it comes to building a rapport with guests, Freddie reveals that he waits for Romesh to dip “his toe in the water early doors, and then you know where you are”.

“You’re waiting for Rom to offend someone and then we know we can do it, or if we’ve got to rein it in a little bit!”

Is there anyone they’ve been nervous to have join the panel?

“Aaron Ramsey, who played for Arsenal at the time... to be doing a show with him felt incredible,” admits Romesh, who is a Gunners fan.

“I’ve got to be honest, I did that sad, loser-y thing you do of trying to make them like you. And trying to hope that Aaron, at the end of the show, would say, ‘Rom, you know what, we’ve got a connection!”’
