While speaking with his The Rest is Entertainment co-host Marina Hyde , the former Pointless host admitted that when he was on The Wheel he was told not to do one important thing: whatever you do, do not sing along to the theme song. However the 53-year-old confessed that he simply could not help himself, as composer Paul Farrer did such a good job composing the show’s theme that he found himself singing along anyway.
On his podcast, Osman said: "The one thing they said was, 'Don't sing along with the lyrics of the songs when you go round because they can't use it if you're mouthing the lyrics'. I mouthed along to every single one, I'm not sure if they can use it, I absolutely couldn't help myself." Osman explained that in order for the show’s editors to put the show together they have to use several different takes.
If someone is singing in one clip and not the next, it makes it very difficult for them to put a coherent show in order. He added: "It would literally cost them millions, but it was really a lovely experience." Osman went on to praise Michael McIntyre , the host of The Wheel, for the energy that he bring.
