Christian O’Connell has been confirmed as the host of forthcoming Radio 2 world cup comedy panel show, Never Write Off the Germans.

His razor sharp, off-the-cuff wit will be needed to keep up with his ‘home’ team, Jon Richardson and Andy Parson. Each week the home team will have to see off an away team of comics in a series of different rounds testing the panel’s knowledge of the World Cup, as it unfolds.

Never Write Off the Germans begins at 10pm on Saturday 12th June 2010.
