Peter Andre joins GB News as guest presenter

He made his presenting debut on GB News in May, co-hosting three episodes of Breakfast with Ellie when the pair stood in for Eamonn Holmes and Isabel Webster.

Speaking today about his new role, Peter said: "I can't wait. Ellie and I got on so well in May, and although I was quite nervous because Breakfast is such a tough gig, I really loved it."

He added: "Viewers are really included in GB News programmes, so there's an intimacy to your relationship with the audience that's rare in television.

“I got wonderfully kind feedback from everyone, so it'll be a joy to join the GB News family throughout Christmas."

Peter hosts Miss World every year to an audience of two billion people worldwide and has co-presented various ITV shows, including a Loose Women & Men special.

He's also appeared on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and Strictly Come Dancing.

Head of Programming Ben Briscoe said: "Peter has proved he's a natural when it comes to the high demands of anchoring a fast-paced news and current affairs programme.

"He and Ellie have a wonderful rapport and the warmth of that really came across. We had lots of viewers ask us to give Peter a more regular gig, so this was an easy decision."

Saturday Morning Live replaces Mornings with Esther & Phil which ended earlier this month when its co-host Esther McVey took up a Cabinet position.

Esther's husband and former co-presenter Philip Davies, also an MP, appears as a regular commentator on GB News.
