Jack Whitehall is to present ‘The Graham Norton Show’.
The 30-year-old comedian will guest host the talk show on Friday May 17th, and he is "honoured" to fill the 56-year-old comedian’s "showbiz boots" while Graham is away in Tel Aviv preparing for the ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ final on Saturday May 18th.
Speaking about hosting the show, Jack said: "I was so honoured Graham asked me to do this for him.
"The thought of stepping into his huge showbiz boots fills me in equal measure with fear and excitement.
"Worst case, I will make everyone appreciate just how lucky we are to have him."
Graham is delighted the ‘Fresh Meat’ star will be fronting his show while he is away but also joked he shouldn’t get "too comfortable" because he will be returning to his presenting chair.
He said: "I’m thrilled to know that I am leaving the show in Jack’s capable hands. He is bound to do an amazing job.
"I should warn him not to get too comfortable in my chair though, because like a slightly fey terminator, I’ll be back."
Jack’s guests include, Luke Evans, Paloma Faith and Gwendoline Christie.
As well as the small screen, the comedian is landing more movie roles and is set to join Idris Elba in film ‘Mouse Guard’.
The ‘Jungle Cruise’ actor is reportedly in discussions to join Idris, Andy Serkis, Samson Kayo and Thomas Brodie-Sangster in Fox’s adaptation of the popular Boom! Studios comic, which is being directed by Wes Ball.
The motion picture – which is set in a medieval world – will tell the story of an order of mice who are the sworn protectors of their realm.
Jack is reportedly in a "calm and measured staff wielder" named Kenzie.
