Jeremy Paxman, the long-running host of quiz show University Challenge, is s tepping down from the role after almost three decades.
BBC journalist and broadcaster Amol Rajan was announced as the new host just days after Paxman announced his exit from the show.
Rajan, who was a former editor of The Independent, began his career as a food critic. He said his new role was a "dream come true", adding that he was aware he had "vast shoes to fill" in taking over from the TV veteran.
