Channel 4 has confirmed that veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil will host a new Sunday politics show from later this spring.
Widely regarded as one of the fiercest interviewers in the business, Neil called time on his lengthy career with the BBC in 2020 before embarking on an ill-fated stint with the GB News channel last year.
Now Neil has signed a deal with C4 to host Sunday Politics with Andrew Neil, a debate and interview programme with an initial 10-week run.
"I'm honoured and delighted to be presenting a new Sunday night political show for Channel 4," said Neil.
"Sunday night is a pivotal point in the political week - we can sweep up what's happened in the previous week, mop up what's been in the Sunday papers and talk shows and throw forward to the upcoming week. We'll aim to do all of that and more."
Louisa Compton, Channel 4's head of news and current affairs, said: "I'm delighted to be bringing Andrew Neil to Channel 4 at a time where politics forms such a huge part of our national conversation.
"Andrew's new show will deliver big name politicians answering the questions the public want to hear.
"It's another example of our huge commitment to public service journalism and current affairs at Channel 4."
Sunday Politics with Andrew Neil begins on Channel 4 in May.
