He will host alongside Charlotte Hawkins on the Wednesday, Kate Garraway for Thursday and Friday, and finally Ranvir Singh on the Monday.

Richard Bacon said: "Not only am I coming home to London to guest present Good Morning Britain this month, but being back on British breakfast broadcasting feels like coming home also.

"I can’t wait to see the team again and am very much looking forward to my time on the show with Kate, Ranvir and Charlotte.”

Neil Thompson, Good Morning Britain, Editor said: “Our mix of guest hosts on Good Morning Britain alongside our brilliant existing family of presenters has been a great success over recent months, and brings a diverse range of perspectives on the day’s news agenda.

"We’re delighted that Richard can return to join us this summer.”

Good Morning Britain are still without a full time host following the departure of Piers Morgan earlier this year.

Piers walked off set during an argument about Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey and quit the same week.

His co-host Susanna Reid has remained on the programme, with a variety of hosts appearing alongside her.

*GMB continues at 6am on ITV tomorrow
