Mark Ronson is among those who will take a turn as a team captain on the BBC2 music quiz 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', after comedian Bill Bailey leaves the show in October.

As well as Ronson, presenter Dermot O'Leary and comedian Jack Dee will take on the role of captain, as the position becomes a rotating one.

The programme made a similar move with the host's role after Mark Lamarr left.

The likes of Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson filled in before presenter Simon Amstell joined the show.

Bailey has been a regular team captain on the show for eleven series, leaving due to "other commitments", according to BBC News.

The comedian replaced former team captain Sean Hughes, following his departure in 2002.
