ITV has just revealed that Rylan Clark will be returning to present This Morning with a new co-host.
The 35-year-old will be joined by his former Big Brother co-host Emma Willis to present the daytime programme from Monday of next week (4 December).
This Morning announced the news to viewers earlier this afternoon (29 November) taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share a photo of Rylan and Emma.

The post was captioned: "Look who's back! @Rylan and @EmmaWillis present #ThisMorning, all next week! Tune in from 10am on Monday 4th December on ITV, STV and ITVX!"
It's clear fans of the daytime programme can't wait with many rushing to share their excitement over the news.
One Twitter user penned: "Will look forward to seeing them again!"
A second praised: "@EmmaWillis and @Rylan are brilliant together."
"About time @EmmaWillis got called up to the hot seat," wrote a third while a fourth chimed in: "Yess! Can’t wait!"
Another gushed: "Oh yeeessss the best!"
"Brilliant news," added a final This Morning fan. "These should be the new hosts!"
Emma is set to replace Cat Deeley, who worked alongside the X Factor star on the programme earlier this month with the pair hosting the show every day next week - even on Alison Hammond and Demot O'Leary's usual Friday segment.
The news comes after it was revealed that Holly Willoughby was set to go on 'indefinite leave' from This Morning following an alleged plot to kidnap her.
"I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning," she said in a statement.
"To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much," she continued. "This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we've done together.
"Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you.
"Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You've been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.
"Richard and Judy said 'We only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers'."
Holly added: "It's been an honour to just be part of its story and I know this story has many chapters left to go. Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family.
"I will miss you all so much. Holly."
