As Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes' seven week stint guest hosting This Morning comes to an end, ITV have announced that TV presenter Vernon Kay will be a guest host on the popular daytime TV show.
Vernon, who came third in last year's series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! will join This Morning on the week commencing 30th August. He will be presenting alongside Rochelle Humes from Tuesday to Thursday each week.
Rochelle will be doing the full week but will be beside the iconic Alison Hammond on Mondays and Fridays. Dermot O'Leary will be making appearances on Fridays from Manchester as a part of Soccer Aid.
When speaking about joining the show, the Game of Talents host said: "This Morning is the daytime go to show, so to be asked to guest host on a show I've watched since its inception is a huge tick for me". Vernon continued: "I'm really looking forward to working with Rochelle and sitting on that famous sofa."
Rochelle added: "I'm so looking forward to hosting with the wonderful Alison Hammond again. I also can't wait to welcome Vernon Kay into the This Morning family!"
Martin Frizell, editor of This Morning called it a "a great mix of talent for our viewers" and added: "Vernon is familiar with being a guest on our sofa but I'm sure he'll be just as great hosting the show live for two and a half hours too."
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will be back on the sofa from 6th September.
These celebs are rumoured to be on this year's I'm a celeb
Patsy Palmer
Following her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, bookies had odds of 2/1 for EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer to appear on this year's show. As reality TV fans will know, she's no stranger to TV, having appeared on the likes of The Masked Singer and Dancing On Ice.
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on this year's line-up!
Jools Oliver
When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: "Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I'm A Celeb. "I think it's an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn't give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo's a--e, no way."
However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools."
Ally McCoist
Scottish football legend Ally McCoist was reportedly in 'advanced talks' with bosses to appear on the 2024 series, but he didn't appear! The pundit has turned down the show twice in the past, and it looks like he's done the same again.

Tommy Fury
Bookies were tipping Tommy Fury to sign up for the 2024 series, but after landing a rematch with KSI, Tommy turned down the show. Now he's back with Molly-Mae, many thought he'd feature in the 2025 line-up.
Giovanni Pernice
Following his removal from Strictly Come Dancing, ITV/STV bosses were reportedly keen to sign up Giovanni Pernice for the 2024 series, with Mail Online suggesting they are ready to splash out £100,000 to sign him.
