News: Josie Long And Loyd Griffith Enter Richard Osman's House Of Games

Comedians Josie Long and Lloyd Griffith are in the line-up for this week's Richard Osman's House of Games.

They will be taking on Steve Cram and Jeanette Kwakye.

Comedians have been doing well in this series, with Angela Barnes smashing various records and winning all five of her episodes and Isy Suttie also being the overall victor when when she appeared in November. Previous winners in this series include Neil Delamere, Rufus Hound and Stephen Mangan.

Kent/South-London born/bred Oxford graduate Josie Long is one of life's enthusiasts and is also very competitive. She did her first stand-up gig when she was only 14 years old and won the BBC New Comedy Awards at the age of 17. She won a keenly-fought live version of Taskmaster at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011 before the show moved to television, first on Dave and then more recently on C4. In 2015 she won Channel 4's Celebrity Fifteen To One.

Long gave birth to a daughter in 2018. The father is Jonny Donahoe of satirical musical duo Jonny and the Baptists. In 2018, Long and Jonny Donahoe performed a show together based around parenting and expecting the birth of their daughter. They also did a podcast, Josie & Jonny Are Having a Baby (With You!). Long spoke about her hopes and fears for her daughter's future in her 2019 show Tender.

Lloyd Griffith is a stand-up comedian and passionate Grimsby Town fan. He was a presenter on Sky Sports show Soccer AM until the end of the 2018-2019 season. He was also formerly a chorister and can still belt out a hell of a tune if you ask him nicely.

Tim Key is one of the contestants in the following week.
