In the best news, season 1 winner Bob Mortimer will return to defend his crown. Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty will also be back as hosts. <\/p>\n

Mortimer won the first season, beating Lou Sanders, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Joe Wilkinson, Richard Ayoade and Harriet Kemsley.<\/p>\n

Back in November, Mortimer spoke about the new season<\/a>, sharing that someone will suffer the same fate as Daisy May Cooper in season 1 when she was eliminated by a song. <\/p>\n

“In the new series, I think I do get rid of someone via the gift of song. I think so, yeah,” Mortimer said, while hinting that some magic may help disappear another contestant. <\/p>\n

Mortimer also shared that the cast never expected the series to be the huge success<\/a> that it became. <\/p>\n

The comedian said they “absolutely [did] not” expect the show to be a hit, adding: “That’s probably the reason a lot of us did it. We thought, ‘Well, no one’s gonna watch it'”<\/p>\n

Last One Laughing UK<\/a> season 2 begins on Thursday, 19 March on Prime Video. Season 1 is streaming now.<\/p>\n
