"I am really looking forward 2meeting so many different people & hearing their inspiring and uplifting stories. I will be on the Harvest edition on Sunday, 20th September at 1.15pm on BBC One (sic)."
A number of fans took to the comments to congratulate Katie on her new role.

The BBC show has celebrated Christianity by airing people singing hymns in churches from around the UK since 1961.
The current main presenters include Aled Jones, Katherine Jenkins, Sean Fletcher, JB Gill, David Grant, Bill Turnbull, Pam Rhodes, Sally Magnusson, Diane-Louise Jordan, Claire McCollum, Connie Fisher, Dan Walker and Kate Bottley.
Meanwhile, Katie recently rejected a lucrative offer to star on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ over fears for her health.
The star received a big-money offer from ITV bosses to appear on the show, but she ultimately rejected the opportunity as she’s still recovering from an acid attack in 2008.
Katie – who has had more than 250 operations over the last 12 years – said: "An offer for the jungle came into my agency. But I’ve got too many medical problems to do it, so I couldn’t sign up.
"If I was in a camp I’d be the person everyone hates because it would always be, ‘Katie can’t do this trial for medical reasons’. So I don’t think I’d be very popular."
