ITV has announced a brand new Sunday edition of its flagship weekday show This Morning to be hosted by husband and wife duo Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.
The channel has commissioned ten hour-long versions of the daytime programme to be fronted by Eamonn, 59, and Ruth, 58, from January 20 at 10.30am.
The couple are currently the main relief presenters for main hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, standing in mainly on Fridays and during school holidays.
This Morning on Sunday will feature "handpicked moments" from throughout the week "as well as new and exclusive content", ITV said.
Phillip announced the news on today's episode, saying: "We have an exciting announcement to make for Sunday mornings, with a weekend episode of This Morning!
