Una Healy has been announced as a new guest presenter of the Today Show for next month, alongside Rachel Allen and Elaine Kinsella.
Whilst host Sinead Kennedy is off on maternity leave, RTE announced the three guest presenters will take turns joining the Today team alongside Daithi O’Se on RTÉ One for the month of April.
Maura Derrane and Dáithí will continue their three days a week together from Wednesdays to Fridays.
Singer Úna Healy revealed she was delighted to be asked to join the team, saying: "I’m such a big fan of Today and have loved performing and being interviewed in previous years.
“The tables have turned and I’m really looking forward to presenting and having great craic alongside Daithi O’Sé!"
Úna, who is no stranger to Today viewers, will join Dáithí for two shows on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th April.
Kicking it off on Tuesday, April 6, is celebrity chef and television presenter Rachel Allen.
The Cork based chef and cookbook author has been in the Today kitchen on many occasions for demos, but on the first Tuesday in April she will join Dáithí on the other side of the set.
She said: "I've always enjoyed cooking on the Today show as I am a great friend of the programme.
“I love working with the crew and I'm looking forward to joining Dáithí on the couch."
Radio presenter Elaine Kinsella appears on Today regularly as part of the panel of journalists discussing the issues of the day, some of which are topical and a few quirky ones too.
The co-host of Kerry's Full Breakfast on Radio Kerry will sit in the presenter's chair on the 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th April.
She added: "I’m absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to guest present on Today.
“This is my fourth season as a panellist on the show and I enjoy every appearance so much. I love the atmosphere in the Cork studio and the entire team has always made me feel so welcome.
“I’ve a great rapport with Daíthí (the fact that we’re both from the Kingdom helps!) and I think we’ll have a lot of fun together."
The switch-up comes as host Sinéad Kennedy prepares to welcome her first child next month.
Since Sinéad joined the team in September, she has co-hosted the show each Monday and Tuesday alongside Dáithí O' Sé.
Bláthnaid Treacy covered her first month of leave in March, and will continue with her 'Something for the Week' and fashion slots for the rest of the season.
Today airs each afternoon at 3.30 PM on RTÉ One.
