Prescott to present 'Have I Got News For You'

Former deputy British Prime Minister John Prescott is to make his debut as guest host on 'Have I Got News For You'.

Prescott will front the last show in the series next week on BBC1 and has already sought presenting tips on his Twitter feed.

He has joked that after working with Brown and Blair for more than 13 years, "Hislop and Merton should be a doddle".
