"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 said. "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!"

"This week will provide a great mix of talent for our viewers," This Morning's editor Martin Frizell shared. "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."
