Lee Mack confirmed for Prime UK's Last One Laughing

Comedian Lee Mack has been confirmed as part of the cast for the third season of hit comedy series Last One Laughing UK.

Mack, who grew up in The Centurion pub in Blackburn, will join a line-up of well-known comedians including Harry Hill, Katherine Ryan, Katherine Parkinson, Michelle de Swarte, Jon Richardson, Morgana Robinson and Josh Jones.

The Amazon Prime Video show challenges comedians to make each other laugh without cracking up themselves.

A first laugh earns a yellow card, and a second results in a red card and elimination from the competition.

Fans have taken to social media to share their excitement about the new line-up, with many backing Mack to go far in the competition.

One fan wrote, "Lee Mack will be brilliant," while another said, "I am excited for Lee Mack."

Another viewer commented: "I kept saying to my husband last year that Lee would be brilliant.

"Glad he’s in it, defo rooting for him.

"Katherine’s gonna be great too."

Other fans shared their thoughts on who might win or be eliminated early, with one writing, "Katherine Parkinson out first I bet."

Another said, "I think Harry Hill's got this!"

A third commented: "Money on Richard cause Bob Mortimer is not there this time."

Someone else said, "This show has given me some of the best belly laughs I've had in years."

A release date for the new season has not yet been revealed, but there will be a Halloween special in October.
