Are you looking forward to the new series?

Speaking about the new series, which will hopefully hit screens later this year Louis said: "I'm so excited to be embarking on this new series - something very different to the kind of TV I normally make."

He added: "This will be a chance to meet and spend time with people I admire, getting to know them, having long form and revealing conversations with honesty, emotion, and humour. To be kicking off with the genius that is Stormzy is proper pinch-me stuff. I can't wait to get going."
