Martin Lewis has confirmed he's set to host This Morning after it was revealed on the latest edition of the programme. The Money Saving Expert founder will be stepping up to main host role alongside Josie Gibson from Monday (March 4).
It comes despite Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley being confirmed as the new permanent presenting duo. It was announced earlier this month that the pair will be the permanent replacements for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield - whose shock exits came within months of each other last year.
They will host in the same slots as their predecessors - from Monday to Thursday - while Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary present their usual Friday show.

But in the meantime, on Thursday (February 29), as they had their last stint on the show, Rochelle Humes and Andi Peters confirmed Martin's new role after spending years as a money expert on the show. But it's not his first stint hosting live TV as not only does he have his Martin Lewis Money Show, he's also popped up on Good Morning Britain as a co-anchor.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Martin confirmed his TV stint. "I've been expert-ing on @thismorning for 21yrs - in recent times usually from home. Well I'm going in on Monday... because having mentioned off-hand to the producers last week that I'd like to present it ONCE (bucket list thing), they said come on and give it a go!"
He added: "No idea if I'll be any good at it, especially the less serious bits, but it'll be fun to try - before the proper new dynamic duo of Ben & Cat get going."
And Martin's fans and followers were
