Vernon Kay will co-host This Morning next week, it has been confirmed.
The daytime staple has been hosted by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford for seven weeks over the summer while regular presenters Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary take their annual breaks.
Next week relief presenter Rochelle Humes will take the reins from Monday to Friday, with Kay - third on last year's I'm A Celebrity - joining her on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
"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," he said. "I'm really looking forward to working with Rochelle and sitting on that famous sofa."
Show editor Martin Frizell said: "This week will provide a great mix of talent for our viewers. 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."
Schofield and Willoughby return to hosting duties the following week.
