ITV has revealed an impressive line-up of stars set to host This Morning throughout the summer period. Regular presenters, Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, along with co-stars Susanna Reid and Lorraine Kelly, will be taking their summer hiatus.
Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, who usually present on Fridays, will be accompanied by a variety of celebrity guest hosts such as Emma Willis, Rylan Clark, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Joel Dommett, Craig Doyle, Sian Welby, and Andi Peters.
Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood is also gearing up to make her presenting debut on This Morning, reports the Mirror. An announcement on the show's Instagram stated: "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 Welby couldn't hide her enthusiasm, commenting "Can't wait," while Alison Hammond responded with a cheerful "Yay" Fans are equally thrilled, with one posting: "Bring on Team Summer," and another commending the "Great line ups."
Olivia, who has been contributing to Loose Women for two years, gushed over her new role, describing it as "very exciting".

She added: "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 stepped in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield last year. Phillip's exit followed the disclosure of his "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger colleague, while Holly departed later due to personal reasons.
The summer presenting roster for This Morning comes following a raft of alterations to its morning shows. Lorraine will be trimmed down to a 30 minute slot, broadcasting from 9:30am to 10am for 30 weeks annually on a seasonal rotation.
Good Morning Britain will expand to three and a half hours, stretching to four hours during Lorraine's hiatus. Loose Women is set to revert to a 30 week schedule. These adjustments are slated to commence from January 2026 next year.
Kevin Lygo, ITV's Media and Entertainment Division Managing Director, commented: "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 further remarked: "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 will retain its usual weekday slot from 10am to 12.30pm, albeit with a new backdrop as the show moves to an updated studio in central London.

Kevin Lygo further commented: "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."
