Michael McIntyre has revealed a major change to his popular programme Big Show.
The stand-up comedy programme hit our screens in 2015 and has gone on to air seven successful series.
Viewers will be happy to know that it will be returning to our screens this Saturday for its eighth season - and with a brand new segment.
Michael said: 'The big news is that we have a new item called Remember Me, where a celebrity sits in the Royal Box and a person from any time in their past appears on stage.'
He added: 'It could be anyone from the midwife who birthed them, to a holiday romance or the driver who bought them to the theatre.
'I play it with Miranda Hart, Alan Carr and Holly Willoughby with hilarious results.'
Michael McIntyre's Big Show has undergone a major change - ahead of the new series this Saturday
Michael has hosted the much-loved show since 2015
There are some pretty big names that are taking part in the upcoming season.
And the funnyman has teased exactly who viewers can expect to turn up for the ride.
Michael added: 'As well as Alan Carr, Miranda Hart and Holly Willoughby playing Remember Me, we have Michael Sheen, Judi Love and Tony Bellew playing Send to All.
'We have more amazing Unexpected Star Stars who had no idea they were going to be on the series but are each sensational, including Heather Small, Marti Pellow and Justin Hawkins.
'It’s also a vintage year for Midnight Gameshows with Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott both being surprised at the same time, Josh Widdicombe and more – all are totally hilarious.
'And there are loads of celebrity cameos helping me with surprises including Jamie Oliver, Olly Murs and Luke Littler. It’s a jam-packed series!'
Earlier this week a very awkward moment between Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson from the show was released.
The former couple - who split last month - are surprised in bed while filming the TV programme.

Big Show isn't the only programme of Michael's that has had a shake-up.
Back in October it was revealed that The Wheel is also set for two huge changes ahead of its fifth season premiere.
The comedian has a range of popular shows that viewers love to watch.
Some include Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, The Michael McIntyre Chat Show and Michael McIntyre: Showman.
But speaking about what fans have to look forward to this series of the Big Show, Michael said: 'This series we took the Wheel on Wheels van to Birmingham to find someone watching the show at home but ended up finding an Indian takeaway restaurant playing The Wheel on the TV.
'So I hid behind the till and popped up whenever someone came in to ask them questions from the show to win their food and prizes.'
Big Show returns on BBC One this Saturday (January 18th) and will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
