\'A League of Their Own\' regular Romesh Ranganathan will step in as a guest host for the upcoming series.

The 14th season of the popular sports panel show will see presenter James Corden at the helm for just two episodes due to work commitments, so the Sky One team have drafted in a range of stars to fill in.

As well as regular Romesh, former panellist Jack Whitehall will return - this time in the hot seat - while \'Britain\'s Got Talent\' judges David Walliams and Amanda Holden will each host an episode.

Clare Balding has also been confirmed alongside British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith, and Romesh will be back on Jamie Redknapp\'s team for the rest of the run with Freddie Flintoff returning as blue team captain.

Zai Bennett, director of programming for Sky, said: "We\'re delighted that James is hosting two of the shows this series but appreciate he has other work commitments this year.

"Therefore, we\'ve got a brilliant line-up of guests to keep his seat warm and we have no doubt that our new guest hosts will ensure that the laughs continue."

Among the fun planned for this year\'s series, Freddie, Jamie and Romesh will take a two-day trip to Dartmoor, joining up with marines where they will be taken through an assault course and tasked with abseiling down a treacherous cliff face.

Guests for the run of episodes will include boxer Tony Bellew, skiing sensation Chemmy Alcott and \'I\'m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner Harry Redknapp.

Comedians Rob Beckett and Tom Davis will also appear, as will gymnast Max Whitlock; speed skater Elise Christie, cricket legend Jimmy Anderson, presenter Helen Skelton and hockey gold medal winner Sam Quek.

There will be a number of former footballers on the panel, too, with Robin van Persie, David Ginola, Jermaine Jenas, Alex Scott and Joe Cole all confirmed.
