John Bishop's Sport Relief Wembley honour

Liverpool FC fan John Bishop's £4m Sport Relief journey was honoured on Wembley Way.

Liverpool Echo, 7th May 2012

After running, rowing and cycling his way from Paris to London in aid of Sport Relief, it's back to the day job for John Bishop tonight as he takes a guest turn on the opening episode of Sky's popular panel show. Alongside master of ceremonies James Corden, he's an ever-present source of the type of free-flowing sporting banter that's made the show one of the broadcaster's top performers.

The addition of Jack Whitehall, who replaces F1-bound Georgie Thompson as a regular panellist, is another shot in the arm for a series that's fast becoming essential viewing for sports fans and phobics alike.
