The controversial talk show host will provide cover for Piers Morgan while the regular anchor, along with his co-host Susanna Reid, take holiday over the next two weeks.

Jeremy said: "'GMB' is a fantastic show and I'm really looking forward to stepping into Piers Morgan's shoes, and even on his toes, over the Easter holidays. Along with Kate Garraway, I'll be helping to wake the nation up and give them the breaking news and entertainment stories of the day over breakfast."

Jeremy will co-present with Kate Garraway from 28-30 March and again on 4-5 April, while ITV News Presenter Mark Austin will join Ranvir Singh on the sofa from 6-8 April.

Mark is also looking forward to being a part of the show - and thinks his co-host and crew members will be thrilled to have him there, rather than Piers.

He joked: "I'm looking forward to joining the GMB team and to the early alarm calls. And also happy to be giving the other presenters a temporary rest from Piers Morgan!"

Kate and Ben Shepard will host as usual next Friday (01.04.16), as well as the day before.
