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
Su-Elise Nash
Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash is reportedly set to follow in the footsteps of her band mate Sabrina Washington, who appeared in 2009. A source said: "Su was incredibly supportive of Sabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq."
Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks to the success of Clarkson's Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!
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."
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on the line-up in 2025, but he didn't appear. Maybe they'll go back with a new offer in 2026.
Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
Although she's in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we'd love to see Liv back in the jungle at some point!
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years. Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so could she appear in 2026?
