ITV makes major announcement as new This Morning hosts revealed

ITV has unveiled a star-studded lineup of presenters who will take the reins on This Morning over the summer.

Regular hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, along with other daytime personalities Susanna Reid and Lorraine Kelly, are set to take their annual break.

This Morning's Friday hosts, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, will be joined by a string of celebrity presenters, including Emma Willis, Rylan Clark, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Joel Dommett, Craig Doyle, Sian Welby, and Andi Peters.

Former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood is also making her This Morning presenting debut, as previously announced.

The show's Instagram account posted: "This summer, get ready for the best staycation ever! Holiday from home as some of our favourite faces come together to entertain you. From sofa to sun lounger, brighten up your mornings with our all-star lineup this summer on This Morning."

Sian expressed her excitement in the comments, saying "Can't wait," while Alison replied with "Yay", reports OK!

One fan commented: "Bring on Team Summer," and another praised the "Great line ups."

Olivia, who has been a Loose Women panellist for two years, previously shared her excitement about joining This Morning, saying it was "very exciting".

She went on: "It's a huge honour, I've grown up watching this show, and being a part of the daytime team with Loose Women has been the best experience and this feels very natural."

Cat and former Good Morning Britain host Ben took the reins from Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield last year. Phillip's departure came after revelations of his "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger colleague, while Holly left months later for personal reasons.

The summer presenting line-up for This Morning has been announced amid a series of changes to ITV's morning programming.

Lorraine will be condensed to 30 minutes, airing from 9:30am to 10am for 30 weeks of the year on a seasonal basis.

In its place, Good Morning Britain will be extended to three and a half hours, and four hours when Lorraine is off the air.

Loose Women will also be reduced to a 30-week schedule, similar to its pre-2016 format. These changes are set to take effect from January 2026.

Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, stated: "Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres."

He added: "These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever."

This Morning is set to keep its regular weekday slot from 10am to 12.30pm, but with a change of scene as it transitions to a fresh studio in the heart of London.

Lygo said: "I recognise that our plans will have an impact on staff off screen in our Daytime production teams, and we will work with ITV Studios and ITN as they manage these changes to produce the shows differently from next year, and support them through this transition.

"Daytime has been a core element of ITV's schedule for over 40 years and these changes will set ITV up to continue to bring viewers award-winning news, views and discussion as we enter our eighth decade."

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
