The celebrity-filled Dave programme has proven to be so popular that it is getting 20 new episodes, starting from next year.

Dara, 44, is returning to host with alongside gaming expert Ellie Gibson as well as team captains Steve McNeil and Sam Pamphilon and the challenges are set to be bigger and harder.

Each series will be 10 episodes long an increase from the original six, but the format of five rounds of gaming on new titles and retro 8-bit classics will stay the same.

Among the famous guests who took part in the first series were Russell Howard, Rachel Riley, Jason Manford, Bob Mortimer, and David James.

Speaking about the commission, avid gaming fan Dara joked: "What bittersweet news. The more time I spend making this fun exciting show about video games, the less time I have to play fun, exciting video games, and I'm already pretty bad at video games. In fact, the more I make this show the less qualified I am to be a guest on it. Now there's an irony."
