Richard Osman baffled as he has ‘no idea’ where wrong Pointless claim came from
Richard Osman said the BBC gameshow stopped making new episodes in 2022, while joking that a report about its broadcast status was wrong.
- On Friday, former Pointless presenter Richard Osman corrected a report claiming the BBC gameshow Pointless Celebrities recently stopped broadcasting, clarifying that production ended in 2022.
- The BBC continued airing episodes long after production ceased, with one person noting, "They dragged out the airing of the episodes so much that they were still showing new ones as recently as August 2025!"
- Pop star Pinkpantheress, whose real name is Victoria Walker, revealed she was blocked from competing on Pointless because producers decided she was "too famous" after reaching the final audition stage in Manchester.
- Responding to the discussion, Osman jokingly reflected on the broadcast schedule, saying "I'm still not 100% sure they've shown them all!" and adding, "It's nice to see myself in my early thirties though."
- When asked about a potential return for the series, Osman told fans, "Definitely no more from me, but who knows!" leaving the door open for future iterations despite his personal exit.
