He will also provide an in-depth look at topics people care about, such as sleep, diet, staying well on holiday and the NHS.

Hilary’s show will feature famous guests with well-known personalities and celebrities exploring their health and wellbeing journeys.

In the first episode, Hilary will be joined by former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan to talk about moments his health has been affected throughout his life, and how they impacted him.

Speaking on his new show, the 71-year-old said: “I know how important it is for people to get the right advice that can help improve their health and their happiness.

“There is so much information, news and content available to us that it can be hard to know what to trust and what is relevant for individuals and their loved ones.

“So, in addition to continuing my current work, my new show will see me act as a guide through the stories and topics that matter most to us all.”

Hilary continued: “I will be bringing together leading experts and people with lived experience to help unpack the most important health and medical topics.

“It will also be a fun show though, filled with uplifting and hopeful stories, and we will be hearing how life’s ups and downs have impacted the health and wellbeing of some of the country’s best-known celebrities.”
