This Morning is getting a royal addition to the show next week as Sarah Ferguson is set to present.
The Duchess of York will be joining the ITV show for one day as fans will be able to watch her on Monday’s show.
Joining Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, the 64-year-old will also be editing the episode in the gallery alongside boss Martin Frizell.
It’s believed some of the topics the royal will be speaking about include segments on rehoming dogs, the importance of defibrillators and skin protection.
According to Daily Mail, there’ll also be an interview with the infamous Sir Cliff Richard.
Ahead of her presenting debut, Sarah told the publication: “I have appeared on This Morning before, but this time I am coming back in a very different role.
“I love live TV and am an enormous fan of the show, and the whole team is always lovely to deal with.
“I’m looking forward to being there for the whole morning, and thrilled to be guest editing the show which will mean getting to explore some topics that I’m passionate about.”
Editor Martin Frizell revealed the This Morning team were all delighted that the Duchess of York wanted to come back on the show.

He said:” I’m very happy for her to make some of my decisions on Monday.
“She has a great understanding of the show and how television works and I feel viewers will be really interested in the running order she is putting together.”
Sarah is just one of the many stand-in presenters the programme has seen since Holly Willoughby stepped down from her role after 14 years.
More recently, ITV welcomed Cat Deeley as a co-host for the beginning of the week as she presented alongside Rylan Clark and Craig Doyle.
The 47-year-old was a hit with many viewers at home who have since pleaded that bosses bring her back to become a regular fixture on the show.
Cat was filling in on the programme following Josie Gibson heading off to Australia to compete in this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
With Josie set to be away for a while, will Sarah Ferguson or Cat Deeley be seen more on This Morning?
This Morning continues weekdays on ITV from 10am
