The show had numerous hosts since then, mostly comedians and singers. Occasionally, pop groups, actors and television presenters also hosted the show. One-off hosts in the series have been an episode hosted by a puppet, Sooty, by the cast of a television show, the ITV soap opera "Coronation Street", and by a sportsperson, the boxer Lennox Lewis. The Spice Girls were the first pop group to host the show, in 1997. In 2006, "An Audience with Take That" was the first time the show was performed live, continued with the next show, "An Audience with Lionel Richie".
