Channel Dave has confirmed a fourth series of Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable, the comedy format in which guests make confessions.
Eight hour-long episodes are set to be filmed, with a twist this time that the co-host will also film aspects outside of the studio.
The channel says: "The award-winning UKTV Original series Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable, hosted by Mel Giedroyc and devious deputy Lou Sanders, will return for a fourth series on Dave and free streaming service UKTV Play. Produced by Expectation, the format welcomes a new line up of famous faces ready to tell their terrible truths.
"For the first time ever, Lou Sanders will be traversing the nation to seek confessions and the most jaw-dropping revelations. Additionally, celebrity guests will be spilling more beans than ever with brand-new games in the studio leading to even more scandalous stories."
Mel Giedroyc says: "Four series in, who'd have thought, and I'm frankly a quiver with excitement to be returning to this magnificent programme. Our celebrities sordid and hilarious confessions are even more jaw-dropping than ever, thank goodness showbusiness remains a bottomless, fetid pit of dysfunctionality that just keeps on giving, much to the delight of myself, Lou and most importantly the viewers."
Lou Sanders adds: "I'm beside myself with excitement. I get to work with Doctor Sunshine herself! We've got loads of new, spectacularly stupid things planned. I think the show gets better each series and we are ready to go!"
Commissioner Hilary Rosen comments: "Collaborating with Mel and Lou on Unforgivable is always an absolute joy, and I'm thrilled this title is returning to Dave. Get ready for even more sensational and jaw-dropping Celebrity revelations."
Channel director Cherie Hall says: "Mel and Lou showcase year after year their strength as a comedic duo and find new ways to make me cry with laughter. No one gets a shameful secret out of a celebrity like those two, and Series 4 is really set to take things to the next level."
Ben Wicks from Expectation concludes: "Thrilled Mel and Lou are back. Their ability to wheedle out hilarious yet shocking truths from celebrities outclasses that of the Metropolitan Police (not hard). Which is why it's tremendous that Lou is being sent out into the nation to find wrong'uns wherever they lurk - Britain's least likely yet funniest emergency service."
