Comics to appear on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire's swansong

Frank Skinner, Russell Kane and Kevin Bridges are to take part in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Skinner and Kane both appear in tomorrow’s penultimate episode of the quiz show. Skinner partners with Adrian Chiles to earn money for aid agency CAFOD and Kane with Gloria Hunniford for The Caron Keating Foundation and mental illness charity Rethink.

Kane said: ‘The prospect of looking like a total idiot was very real. Thankfully, I do that for a living, so the nerves, though still awful, were manageable.’

Kevin Bridges will take part in the last ever episode, on February 4, when he will partner Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy.

Others taking part in the last ever episode include James Nesbitt, Dom Joly and Countdown’s Rachel Riley and.

Host Chris Tarrant said of the show’s passing after 15 years: ‘ I’ve oved the buzz of it and will miss the sheer drama of watching someone, literally eyeball to eyeball, agonising over whether or not they know an answer and are brave enough to go for it, with a huge amount of money at stake.’
