GMB announces Gemma Collins as guest entertainment editor
Good Morning Britain was hosted by Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard earlier today and during the show they made a shock announcement.
During an advert break, before they returned live to the studio, the show played a clip regarding TV personality Gemma Collins.
In the short video, viewers heard how the current Dancing On Ice contestant would be joining the GMB team.
However, in a role no one would have expected. Instead of being a guest, she would be taking on the job of guest Entertainment Editor alongside Richard Arnold.
Fans can expect to see the TOWIE star on Monday morning throughout the show, despite other work commitments.
“After her spectacular fall, Piers made his feelings quite clear: ‘Give her a chance, I thought it was quite ballsy, she had one hell of a fall and got back up.’
“Don’t miss her calling the shots as Guest Entertainment Editor, Gemma Collins, Monday from six on Good Morning Britain,” the official clip explained.
And ITV Good Morning Britain have told Express.co.uk: “We're really excited to have Gemma Collins joining the team for the day.
“It's certainly going to be a lively morning. With Piers, Richard and the GC live in the studio, anything could happen."
Viewers can tune in to see her throughout the show, working alonside Richard.
And hopefully, regardless of Sunday night's Dancing On Ice result, she will be giving the viewers some juicy behind the scenes gossip.
Gemma will be taking to the ice once again this Sunday night with another Dancing On Ice performance.
Will she be sharing some behind-the-scenes gossip from the show?
It comes after host Piers Morgan defended Gemma earlier in the week.
Whilst presenting the show, he addressed the fall she suffered during Sunday night’s show, praising her for getting back up and completing the routine.

Dancing on Ice: Gemma Collins falls over during performance
With Piers, Richard and the GC live in the studio, anything could happen.
“That took balls, I'm serious,” he remarked and then added: “You fall on national TV, you fall flat on your face on the ice. This is why I don't ice skate, I couldn't do what she does.
He continued: "She's been fat-shamed so badly on social media, the amount of people just mocking her.
“But compare her to Tess Holliday, who puts pictures on Instagram eating cakes or whatever...
“Gemma Collins is actually trying, she'll lose weight doing this. This is a hard, gruelling show to do,” he concluded.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
