Chris and Rosie Ramsey are getting ready to debut the new series of their hit chat show, having been given a huge boost from BBC bosses. Instead of airing on BBC Two on a Monday, their programme will now be given a primetime Friday night slot on BBC One for its second run.
Having amassed millions of loyal listeners to their S***ged, Married, Annoyed podcast and broke records for the largest audience for a live podcast, thanks to their sell out gig at London's O2 Arena, the South Shields couple launched The Chris and Rosie Ramsey Show, being joined by celebrity couples including Vicky Pattison and her other half Ercan Ramadan and, Chris' former Strictly co-star Jamie Laing and his now wife Sophie Habboo.
And, having proved a huge ratings winner for the BBC, The Chris and Rosie Ramsey Show will return this Friday, May 19, with a big change of channel and time; going into the slot famously occupied by The Graham Norton Show.

Chris and Rosie joined Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield as guests on Thursday's This Morning when news of their 'promotion' was confirmed, as Holly the couple: "Congratulations! You have a new home and a new time slot. This is the Graham Norton slot, which is huge."
Chris replied: "I still believe someone pulled out. I think there was a last minute pull out, someone got ill and they went 'we need to fill the slot.'"
Rosie added: "It's got that kinda vibe, we definitely have a couple of glasses of wine and so do our guests. It's got that kind of energy of a weekend show, it fits the Friday night I think."
Another big change for the new series of The Chris and Rosie Ramsey Show is that, rather than them just being joined by showbiz couples, they will invite famous guests with all kinds of relationships, including Jack Whitehall and his dad Michael.
