The garrulous host seems to have stuck with the same Friday Night formula, as he settles into his new home on ITV1. He still lavishes his guests with compliments while making hit-and-miss jokes, but the calibre of guests is as strong as it ever was.

Also on the show is entertainingly camp dance teacher Louie Spence, who will have no trouble stopping Ross from stealing his limelight. Music comes from Brit-rock band Kasabian but you can always change the channel before the end.
