Career: Osman has worked behind the scenes as an executive producer on a number of TV programmes, including Deal or No Deal, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and 10 O'Clock Live. As the UK creative director of TV production company Endemol, he pitched the quiz Pointless to the BBC. As a way of explaining the rules, he played the co-host during a run-through. He was asked to do the role for real when the show was commissioned. Pointless started on BBC Two in 2009 and was an immediate hit. It quickly made the switch to BBC One. Since being in the spotlight on Pointless, he has made guest appearances on QI, Have I Got News for You and Would I Lie to You? He also guest presented an episode of The One Show alongside Alex Jones.

Career: Malone worked for the London Symphony Orchestra from 2001 until 2009. He ran their youth choir and community choir. His big break came in 2006 when he presented the first series of The Choir on BBC Two. He was asked to create a choir from scratch at a comprehensive school in Middlesex. He auditioned 160 pupils for 30 places. After only nine months' training, he took them to China to compete in the 2006 World Choir Games. The series was a big success and since then he has presented various takes on the same format, including The Choir: Boys Don't Sing, The Choir: Unsung Town, The Choir: Military Wives, and Sing While You Work. He has also made a version of The Choir for the American market and appeared on Who Do You Think You Are?
