Last One Laughing's newest star Mel Giedroyc has teased what's to come from its highly-anticipated second series. Prime Video revealed the line-up for its upcoming series this week, with nine new stars entering the LOL house.

They'll be joined by reigning champion Bob Mortimer, who beat Richard Ayoade in the widely-streamed finale of Last One Laughing's first series. The next series is set to feature Peep Show's David Mitchell, Motherland's Diane Morgan, A League of Their Own's Romesh Ranganathan and comedian Amy Gledhill.

They'll be joined by Mock the Week's Maisie Adam, ex Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc, Chatty Man Alan Carr, comedian Gbemisola Ikumelo and Taskmaster's Sam Campbell.

Now, new star Mel has revealed that the series has already been filmed and gave her two-word verdict on the stellar line-up.

Appearing on ITV's Lorraine, Mel said that filming the show was "utter lunacy". She said: "We've already filmed it. It's already been done and I can't say anything about it other than utter lunacy."

She added: "Utter lunacy. It feels like a cheese dream."

Last One Laughing will see host Jimmy Carr and his deputy Roisin Conaty return for series two. Prime Video teases: "In this new series, Jimmy Carr will once again challenge 10 of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as cracking a smile.

"Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents without cracking up. And it’s not just their rivals they need to watch out for.

"The show is packed with comedy cameos, format twists and surprises designed to elicit laughs from both players and viewers alike. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out."

Earlier this year, series one star Lou Sanders opened up about filming the show's debut in an interview with The Mirror.

She revealed that she's "never been recognised so much" thanks to the show - and even thanked an executive for not putting in one particularly "degrading" scene.

"I actually emailed an exec yesterday and said, ‘Thanks so much for not putting the bit in where I fart on Rob Beckett’s leg," she laughed. "I don’t think that would have been good for business.

"It was done, if you can believe, in a classy way. I knew he would find it funny so it was tactical really. I had to do it - I’m there to win.

"The fact that he beat me and I still degraded myself - it’s not ideal. We’d all gone mad at that point."
