Anton Du Beke is to co-host ‘This Morning’ on Friday (31.05.19).
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional dancer will present alongside Rochelle Humes – who filled in for Holly Willoughby on the show late last year – and has teased fans he will be showing off his dancing skills alongside The Saturdays singer.
Anton, 52, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I can’t wait. I’ve big boots to fill, but hopefully viewers will welcome me with open arms.
"No doubt they’ll be a sprinkling of dancing with Rochelle at some point."
The TV star recently won the hearts of ‘This Morning’ viewers with his ‘Anton Du Bake, Baking Fails’ segment on the show.
The stint involved him working in a bakery and cooking for his wife Hannah and two-year-old twins George and Henrietta.
Anton – who trained as a baker before finding fame on the dancefloor – helps viewers who are struggling in the kitchen with cakes, scones and biscuits.
This comes after it was recently reported that a number of the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ cast and crew have backed Anton to replace Dame Darcey Bussell as the new judge on the show.
Anton has been a huge hit with fans of the BBC One celebrity dance contest since it began in 2004, largely thanks to years of being placed with "novelty acts".
A source told The Sun Online: "Loveable Anton is the cast’s favourite choice to take over from Darcey as judge.
"Some on the show believe it’s time for him to hang up his dancing shoes and sit on the other side of the table.
"Anton is a well-loved professional but it’s felt by many that his glory years are over. He’s often placed with the novelty act and has no chance of getting near the Glitter Ball. He isn’t a real contender anymore."
