Now Celebrity Juice star Fearne has been chosen to jump into the hot seat to interview the special guests from next Monday.

Speaking about the gig, the mum-of-two said: “It’s going to be such a fun week, I’m really looking forward to hosting the show while Lorraine enjoys her trip of her lifetime.”

Lorraine editor Sue Walton said: “I’m delighted that Fearne, such a popular and versatile broadcaster, is presenting the show for a week.

“Fearne thrives on live, and her natural empathy, spontaneity, not forgetting her sense of fun will all shine through in what will be a special week of shows.”

The 35-year-old will be joined by an impressive line-up of guests including Olympian Tom Daley and actress Emma Watson.

Lorraine is off following the journey of Polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton from the South Atlantic to South Georgia, but she’s ensured her show will be well looked after while she’s away.

Before embarking on her new adventure the 57-year-old said: “I’m so excited for what will definitely be a trip of a lifetime and I feel very reassured to know that the show is in such safe hands while I’m away.

“I’ll be keeping in touch from Antarctica throughout my journey and I look forward to sharing my adventure with Lorraine viewers when I get back!”
