The Hit List returning with Marvin and Rochelle Humes

Rochelle and Marvin Humes have signed up to present a second series of ‘The Hit List’.
The couple’s popular Saturday night music quiz show has been commissioned for a return to BBC One after a successful first outing earlier this year, and the pair are "buzzing" to be back as hosts for another run.
They said: "We are absolutely buzzing that series two of ‘The Hit List’ has been commissioned.
"We’ve been overwhelmed with all the support and positive reaction to a show that we have so much fun making. We’re so pleased that everyone loves it as much as we do and can’t wait for it to be back on screen again!"
The show sees three couples competing each week for the chance to win a £10,000 prize – by naming as many songs and artists as possible under intense pressure.
Marvin, 33 and his wife Rochelle, 29, were both in successful pop bands – JLS and The Saturdays – before turning towards presenting and have gone on to co-host on ‘This Morning’ on occasions.
The first series of ‘The Hit List’ proved to be a huge success, and the team are excited to start work on the next season.
Executive producer Karen Smith said: "The ratings for ‘The Hit List’ were great, the recommission even better, but the best bit was hearing how families were coming together to watch and play along with the show. Genuinely shared viewing. I love it when a plan comes together."
The Beeb was also delighted the show was uniting families in the name of entertainment, and hailed its "energy".
Kate Phillips, controller of entertainment commissioning at the BBC, added: "’The Hit List’ has a tremendous amount of energy and is a lot of fun too.
"I love the fact that families can join in with the action and play along from the comfort of their own homes, making it the perfect way to kick off Saturday nights with BBC One."
