Zoe Ball is “super excited” to be returning to weekend TV to host a brand new chat show.

The 47-year-old will front an hour long talk show on ITV every Saturday and Sunday morning where she will be joined by celebrity guests.

The shows will also feature live performances from famous musicians as well as breakthrough artists.

Ball described the upcoming shows as a “one-stop shop for all you need in the world of entertainment and leisure”.

In a statement she said: “I am super excited to return to weekend morning television (a few years on) with a glorious mix of all the things I love - live music from your favourite music stars, great chat with stars of television and big screen and new exciting authors.

“Think of our show as your televisual weekend supplement. Your one-stop shop for all you need in the world of entertainment and leisure.”

Ball previously hosted Saturday morning children’s show Live & Kicking with Jamie Theakston in the 1990s. She also fronts Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two.

She will feature in a Sports Relief programme on BBC One tonight which will document the cycle ride she took on in the wake of her boyfriend Billy Yates' death.

Ball was left devastated after Yates committed suicide at his south London home last year following a battle with depression.

She took part in the 350 mile charity bike ride from Blackpool to Brighton to raise money for those affected by mental health issues.
