Former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, Alan Carr and singer Geri Horner among the star-studded line-up for the new series on Sky One.

James Corden, Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp will return for the 13th series of the sports-based game show alongside new addition Romesh Ranganathan, who will replace comedian Jack Whitehall as a regular panellist.

A League of Their Own has been a lot of fun, is something I’m contractually obliged to say despite the physical challenges, which I would describe as some of the toughest experiences I have ever been through," joked Romesh Ranganathan. 

"The guest list, however, has been phenomenal with David Walliams, Helen Skelton and Wladimir Klitschko, who was amazing," he continued. "This series also saw the return of one of my favourite people in the world and ALOTO Hall of Famer Tony Bellew - who was as incredible as we all hoped he would be.”

Other guest stars appearing on the show include Rob Beckett, Patrice Evra, Mo Farrah, Lizzy Yarnold, Tracey Neville and David Walliams.

As well as a stellar line-up, the series will include more comedy features, including speed skating with world champion Elise Christie, ThunderCat racing and studio challenges ‘danger sit-ups’ with Tony Bellew and ‘back-to-back football’ with Josh Widdicombe.

Barbara Lee, commissioning editor of Sky Arts and Entertainment, added, “Every year we aim to get the highest calibre of guests for the series and this year has been no different. The team work so hard to continue to push the boundaries and ensure sporting idols see our show as the go-to for sports entertainment."

"Where else do you see James Corden and Wladimir Klitschko going toe-to-toe or Alan Carr take on Tony Bellew in a speed-skating challenge?”

A League of Their Own series 13 will air on Sky One and NOW TV on 30th August.
