He said: “What a privilege it is to take on this new role.

“‘Mastermind’ with Magnus Magnusson formed the backdrop to my youth, and now to be at the helm is a dream come true.

“I’m excited and can’t wait to get stuck in.”

Kate Phillips, BBC’s Director of Entertainment, said:

“Clive will be a superb host, witty, wise and with a wicked sense of humour, he’s a consummate interrogator who also understands the fear involved when facing a barrage of questions in the spotlight.”

The show celebrates its 50th anniversary next year.
