There\u2019s a new resident moving into BBC Two\u2019s House of Games<\/em> \u2013 with the broadcaster announcing that Bafta-winning actor Michael Sheen will be the new host.<\/p>\n

The Welsh actor, 57, will be taking over from Richard Osman, who announced this month that he would be quitting the show after nine year<\/a>s as host.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Sheen admitted that he has \u201cquite literally very large shoes to fill\u201d but that he\u2019s a big fan of the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to be able to move into the House and at long last see my silhouette on a fondue set.\u201d<\/p>\n
