Game show he presents with his mum Shanthi
Romesh Ranganathan is to front a second series of Parents' Evening for ITV.
The game show, in which three celebrity pairs of celebrity parents and children duos play against each other to win money for charity, ran for a limited series of three episodes in November.
The comedian presented the show with his mum, Shanthi, and the series attracted a total of 6.7million viewers over its first run.
Now it has been announced that the show will return for a full run of six episodes.
Ranganathan said: ‘When I started comedy, my dream was always to keep my mum in regular employment. ITV have helped make this dream come true.’
The show is being made by the comic’s production company Ranga Bee Productions with co-founder Benjamin Green and development executive Shereen Docherty also executive producers.
Green said: ‘We are so delighted to be making another series of Parents' Evening, and we're especially thankful to ITV for allowing Romesh to be a part of Shanthi's show.’
