Jamie Redknapp

Corden & Whitehall take part in synchronised swimming

On Friday night's episode of A League of Their Own viewers will see the comedian slip into a swimming costume to perform a synchronised routine. James will battle it out against Jack Whitehall, who also opted for female swimwear, and Jamie Redknapp.

Series six of the comedy sports quiz that wasn't on air during the Olympics, but became a nice footnote in the Team GB story. When Mo Farah triumphed, people asked how he came up with his "Mobot" celebration. The answer was that he'd had it created for him: when he'd appeared on A League of Their Own, fellow guest Clare Balding had invented it and host James Corden had named it. Farah is back on the show tonight alongside gymnast Louis Smith and team captains Andrew Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp.

Redknapp red-faced at synchronised swimming routine

A League Of Their Own host James Corden says a stunt on his latest show was so embarrassing that Jamie Redknapp brought in a sick note from his MUM.

John Bishop has his feet firmly on the ground

"Some people think I'll be spending Christmas day with James Corden and Jamie Redknapp, round their house ­playing the Wii," jokes comedian John Bishop.

John Bishop & Jamie Redknapp go diving with Tom Daley

He may be less than half their age but Tom Daley played the role of teacher when he passed on some of his expert diving knowledge to footballer Jamie Redknapp and comedian John Bishop.

While its antecedent, They Think It's All Over, managed to show the surprisingly sharp side of sporting figures such as David Gower and Steve Davis, A League Of Their Own merely plays down to expectations. Team captains Andrew Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp, though likable enough, aren't terribly interesting, leaving the burden of entertainment on James Corden and his interchangeable support staff of panel-show comics, which, for this fourth series, includes Jack Whitehall, Jason Manford and Lee Mack.

A big guest straight off the bat for series four: Andy Murray, taking a break from tantalising losses in Grand Slam semis. In the last series, Tim Henman fired serves at the show's regulars. How can Murray top that? By picking up a microphone to reveal his talent for rapping, backed by regular host James Corden.

The show's also held onto star players John Bishop and Andrew Flintoff, along with Jamie Redknapp and Georgie Thompson. Other guests are comic Jason Manford, and Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier.

Host James Corden and regulars Georgie Thompson, Freddie ­Flintoff, John Bishop and Jamie Redknapp return with a new series of the sports-based panel show.

This week's guests are the brilliant Jimmy Carr and darts player Phil "The Power" Taylor. Although due to funnyman John monopolising the screen time, if it wasn't for a section of the show being dedicated to darts you might not realise Phil was even there. Not that we're complaining - ­everything that comes out of John's mouth is comedy gold. The show is now, at one hour, "bigger and longer" than before. And, says James, "it might even be better".

We'd have to agree. I''s just gag after gag, many of them at the expense of one Mr Redknapp.

There's even a "smash it", although not followed by the expected shot of Jamie (perhaps he didn't ­appreciate being the butt of that joke).

As well as laughing, you'll learn some interesting facts, including how many Didier Drogba air fresheners have been sold, why tennis ace Roger Federer's attempts at merchandising are even tackier than that, how ­comedians are stronger than ­footballers, and that if Benidorm's Madge should ever lose her mobility scooter she should probably check Freddie's garage.

Cruel jokes aren't funny except setting Redknapp ablaze

A League Of Their Own host James Corden has told he hates cruel jokes - unless they involve setting fire to Jamie Redknapp.

Freddie Flintoff & Jamie Redknapp interview

Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp were a bundle of nerves when they first signed up as team leaders on A League Of Their Own, the Sky1 quiz show hosted by James Corden. But as series two kicks off, the sporting stars are old hands.
