Andi Peter’s will be stepping in as Lorraine Kelly’s replacement this summer during her seasonal break.
He’ll be taking over the show for two weeks from 10 to 21 August, during the host's absence.
The TV presenter will be the first man to host the show in almost a decade, since Michael Ball in 2011.
The 49-year-old, who hosts the competition slot during Lorraine’s show has said that he’s excited about his new role and confessed he’s a “bit of a chatterbox”.
“I love Lorraine, I’ve known her for ten years, I’m on her show every day with competitions and it’s great to be part of that family. So, sitting in for her is an honour, Lorraine is an institution.
"As much as I adore always giving away money on the competition slots, I’m looking forward to chatting to people and having a whole hour to actually relax into it. I’m a bit of a chatterbox. I’ll enjoy having guests on, who want to have a bit of a chinwag and also to be able to do some serious stuff…I’m genuinely really excited.”
Christine Lampard, who has stepped in for Lorraine in previous years, will also be returning to lend a helping hand.
The 41-year-old will host the show just before Andi’s stint, from 20 July to 7 August, and will also return after his two weeks, presenting from 24 August until Lorraine's return on 1 September.
She said: “I'm really looking forward to being back at Lorraine. The team is always so lovely and welcoming and now more than ever, it'll be great to catch up with people and find out how they are getting on."
Lorraine has said she’s delighted that the pair will be stepping in for her and that she’s happy they’ve managed to finally pin Andi down to present.
“I’m so delighted Christine and Andi will be standing in for me. They are both lovely people and total professionals," she said.
"Actually, I’ve been trying to get Andi to present my show for ages but he’s always been away filming in exotic locations. I’m glad we’ve managed to pin him down.”
Lorraine Kelly airs at 9am weekdays on ITV.
