The Ted Lasso actress, 50, will be joining the show as a guest on Saturday’s episode where she will help Tom, 84, choose the acts he wants to continue in the competition. 

She looked in great spirits and cut a stylish figure in a black velvet dress as she beamed next to Tom. 

A show insider has also told The Star: ‘Hannah is a big fan of Tom so getting to work alongside him has been a dream come true.’ 

In terms of other guests on the series Tom will be joined by Hannah, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones will be joined by Perrie Edwards, LeAnn Rimes will be joined by singer-songwriter Griff and Will I Am will be joined by his AI assistant Felicia.

Emma Willis is back at the helm presenting the show as acts compete to win a contract with music giants EMI, £50,000 and a trip to Universal Orlando Resort.

It comes after Ted Lasso fans rejoiced last month after it was revealed the hit series will return for series four. 

According to Deadline, Hannah, Jeremy Swift and Brett Goldstein have agreed to return to the hit sitcom for season four.

Hannah starred as AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, Swift was her Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins and Goldstein was player-turned-coach Roy Kent.

Now, Warner Brothers, which will produce the show, must secure contracts with creators and stars Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt.

They star as the US Football coaches hired to coach the British footballers.

Juno Temple, who starred as influencer and marketer Keely Jones, is also reportedly on the list of actors the production wants to include in any new endeavor.

Putting together the rest of the team could be relatively easy, as cast members have repeatedly said they would like to reprise their roles, given the opportunity to do so.

The publication reports that the writers have already begun work plotting out what a new season would entail.

At the end of season three, Sudeikis’ Lasso had returned to his son and ex-wife in Kansas, while Hunt’s Coach Beard remained in the UK.

The show won 13 Primetime Emmy awards during its very successful run.

The end of season three was never considered the show’s finale, which allowed fans to dream about more adventure on the pitch and that appears to be exactly what they will get, eventually.
