Lorraine Kelly has confirmed she will be returning to our television screens next week.
The 61-year-old host is feeling 'refreshed and revitalised' following her summer break, which saw Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh take the reins of her ITV breakfast show.
Lorraine will be back in the hot seat on Wednesday 1st September to bring viewers an autumn jam-packed with thought-provoking campaigns, celebrations of female friendships and the very best celebrity guests back in the studio.
"I’m back! Feeling refreshed and revitalised, and more than ever I can’t wait to get back to doing what I love best," the mother-of-one said.
"The team has worked tirelessly over the summer to produce an autumn full of the very best and most inspiring content. I can’t wait to share it with the viewers at home each weekday morning."
The show's editor Victoria Kennedy added: "This new term on Lorraine brings with it fresh new content, even more of our favourite showbiz guests live in the studio, brand new contributors and powerful life-saving campaigns viewers have come to expect on the show.
"It’s set to be our best term yet and with Lorraine back at the helm, we couldn't be more excited about our line up. Grab a cuppa with us and settle in with Lorraine this autumn."
As well as the return of the Woman of the Year awards, there will also be a celebration of Black History Month and a brand new chef has been added to the Lorraine line-up.
Studio local and South Asian cook Aida Khan believes every mealtime is about family and friendship, and will show viewers at home how to make some of her favourite recipes.
And eagled-eyed viewers will have also noticed a brand new doctor on screen over the summer.
Dr Anisha will continue on the show throughout autumn providing essential medical advice each Thursday with ‘Ask Dr Anisha’ tackling personal topics such as hormones, PMT, hair thinning, lack of libido for couples and much more.
Dr Anisha will also cover the subjects others are often too embarrassed to discuss.
And not forgetting show favourite Dr Amir who will help inspire viewers in 'How to Save the Planet with Dr Amir' this November, celebrating his love and infectious enthusiasm for all things nature.
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
