Episode 4 (26 April 2024)

This episode will mark broadcaster, financial journalist and Money Saving Expert's Martin Lewis first ever outing as host on Have I Got News For You.

Speaking about his upcoming HIGNFY appearance, Martin says: "I've been a fan of the show since it started, just after I left school. But can't pretend there isn't a tinge of terror mixed in with excitement at the thought of presenting it — especially trying to keep Paul and Ian in line. I may have to resort to threatening to destroy their credit scores."

Joining Ian, Paul and Martin is comedian Ignacio Lopez, who made his first appearance in series 66. The second panellist is currently TBC.
