Noel Fielding to be guest judge on Roast Battle UK

Noel Fielding has been announced as one of the guest judges for the new series of ‘Roast Battle UK’.
The fourth series of the Comedy Central show will have a special guest for each episode joining host Jimmy Carr regular judge Katherine Ryan.
As well as ‘Great British Bake Off’ co-host Noel the other guests will will be Richard Ayoade, Big Narstie, Sara Pascoe and Joe Lycett.
Announcing the exciting line-up, Louise Holmes – Vice President and General Manager of Comedy Central UK – said: "We’re delighted to welcome Noel, Sara, Joe, Richard and Big Narstie to our resident Roast judges Jimmy and Katherine to create a judging panel of comedy royalty."
Following the first series – which became the channel’s highest-rated UK commission in history – the fourth run will feature a host of well-known comedians going head-to-head to ridicule and ‘roast’ each other with the judges deciding who wins each battle.
Previous series saw stars including Tom Allen and Suzi Ruffell battle it out with brutal insults and trash-talk to impress the judges.
Holmes added: "Series 4 will see the sharpest comedians on the circuit battle each other – with every jaw-dropping moment up for delightful scrutiny by our iconic judges."
Filming for the show will begin in October in London and will continue to be co-produced by ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’s’ Fulwell 73 and IDEASATRON.
