E4’s GamesMaster reboot has found its new presenter in the shape of Robert Florence, who will be joined by Frankie Logan and Ty Ward.

The Scottish comedian, writer, filmmaker and poet, is recording three 60 minute episodes featuring celebrities playing videogames for supremacy. Florence’s gamer credentials are pretty strong, having contributed over the years to GamesTM, Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, Custom PC and other titles.
