Former twice-winner of celebrity version of quiz show leads race to replace John Humphrys
With quizmaster John Humphrys set to depart Mastermind, the question being asked is if the long-running
BBC show will finally be hosted by a woman.
Tipped to lead the runners-and-riders list to replace the veteran broadcaster is reportedly Samira Ahmed. The presenter of Front Row on Radio 4 won Celebrity Mastermind in 2010, and again in 2019, when she was crowned champion of champions, with Space:1999, the 1970s sci-fi show, as her specialist subject.
