Stephen Mangan has stepped in to replace Jeremy Clarkson as guest host on Have I Got News For You.

The former Top Gear presenter was due to host the long-running BBC One news quiz before his high-profile fracas with a producer and resultant sacking.

Clarkson's fans were left disappointed after he pulled out of the show, which was to be his first major television slot since being dismissed from Top Gear.

Episodes star Mangan will host Have I Got News For You for the fourth time when he takes the hot seat in the coming weeks but there is still hope for Clarkson to host in the future, as executive producer Richard Wilson recently explained that he will return "when he's ready".

Meanwhile, the BBC has promised fans that they will get to see the unaired episodes of Top Gear featuring Clarkson later this year.
