Zack Polanski revealed that he has pulled out of a beloved BBC show hours before it was set to air, opting instead for a rival show. He was due to appear on Have I Got News For You , joining the star-studded panel made up of Rev Richard Coles and comedian Finlay Christie, supported by team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. For this week's show, Professor Hannah Fry will take on the guest host position, making her TV debut on the long-running show.

The Green Party Leader took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share his last-minute update with his loyal legion of fans online. He revealed that he will no longer be appearing on the political panel show, which was set to air on Friday (December 5).
