Broadcaster Carol Vorderman is set to dominate Channel 5's daytime schedule this Tuesday, appearing across a series of programmes in a six-hour "takeover".
From 9am to 3pm, the 65-year-old will feature prominently, joining established presenters such as Jeremy Vine and Vanessa Feltz.
Vorderman's marathon broadcast day will commence on Jeremy Vine's eponymous debate show, before she moves to Storm Huntley and Alexis Conran’s news programme.
She will then join Matt Allwright’s show, which also delves into the day's news, concluding her extensive appearances on Vanessa Feltz’s discussion-led chat show.
The appearances are marking Vorderman’s return to Channel 5 as a team captain on the quiz show Celebrity Puzzling, where stars face a variety of puzzles and challenges.
Throughout the day, the broadcaster will also be sharing information about the upcoming series of her new show and “giving viewers a taste” of what to expect.
Vorderman said: “It will be great to chat about everything from the issues of the day to real-life stories and consumer topics, and of course to share a bit about Celebrity Puzzling.
“I love a good puzzle, so I’m excited to give viewers a taste of what’s coming.”
Federico Ruiz, commissioner for Daytime at 5, said: “Carol is a broadcasting powerhouse and we’re really excited to have her taking over our daytime schedule.
“Each of our shows has its own unique personality and audience, from debate and current affairs to consumer issues and heartfelt stories.”
Ruiz added that viewers “will get to enjoy her trademark energy and sharp wit all day on 5”.
Vorderman is known as the former co-host of Channel 4 game show Countdown, and has also appeared as a panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.
She also starred on ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016, and appeared on its all-star spin-off, titled I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, in 2023.
Vorderman will appear on Channel 5 from 9.15am on Tuesday March 17.
