A League of Their Own to return on August 20

‘A League of Their Own’ will return on August 20th.

The latest season of the Sky original series will begin airing on Sky One and NOW TV later this month and filming has already started at Elstree Studios.

The hosting duties will be divided between Romesh Ranganathan [six episodes], Jamie Redknapp [one episode] and Freddie Flintoff [one episode] as James Corden has been unable to return to the UK to film due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, it is believed that he will be involved in some way.

This season the teams will try new sporting challenges including BMX, golf and badminton.

Confirmed guests include Tony Bellew, Heather Watson, Andy Murray, Eric Dier, Eddie Hearn, Jesse Lingard, Sam Quek, Anthony Joshua, Dina Asher Smith, Micah Richards and Adam Peaty.

Meanwhile, last month, Romesh revealed he had broken his wrist while filming ‘A League of Their Own’.

The 42-year-old comedian – who previously needed four stitches after being accidentally elbowed in the face by fellow panellist Jamie – damaged his left wrist and dislocated his right thumb during a BMX bike speed challenge.

Speaking during a stand-up routine for online show ‘Always Be Comedy’, he said: "The track where it happened doesn’t have many injuries.

"Unluckily for me, the health and safety guys hadn’t dreamed up the uniquely stupid way I’d do the challenge.

"I can’t even say I did it during the white heat of a competition – it happened during training."
