Alexander Armstrong’s Pointless Evolution: New Celebrity Co-Hosts Join BBC’s Beloved Quiz Show

Fresh Faces Join Pointless in 2025

A star-studded lineup of new co-hosts is set to join Alexander Armstrong on BBC’s Pointless, including Judi Love, Gethin Jones, Angela Scanlon, Trevor Nelson, Angela Rippon, and Tom Allen. This development marks another exciting chapter in the show’s evolution since its inception.

Armstrong’s Continued Legacy

Armstrong has been the constant presence on Pointless since 2009, hosting the BBC One game show. The show has seen various changes since Richard Osman’s departure from the weekday show in 2022, with Armstrong being joined by a rotating cast of celebrity co-hosts.

Multifaceted Career

Beyond Pointless, Armstrong continues to demonstrate his versatility as an actor, singer, presenter, comedian, and author. He is particularly well-known on radio as one of the hosts on Classic FM, where he started in 2014 with a weekend afternoon programme before taking over the weekday mid-morning show.

New Co-Hosts’ Enthusiasm

Speaking about the new lineup, Armstrong, 55, expressed his excitement: “I am over the moon knowing I get to work with such brilliant co-hosts. I cannot wait to get going and have them all keep me, and the contestants, fantastically on our toes.”

Looking Ahead

Adding to his diverse portfolio, Armstrong is set to publish his debut children’s novel, Evenfall: The Golden Linnet, the first in the Evenfall series, in 2024. He has also found recent success as a travel presenter, hosting the popular series ‘Alexander Armstrong in…’ for Channel 5, which has taken him to various locations including Sri Lanka, South Korea, and Iceland.
