BBC's Morning Live has revealed three new presenters have joined the show permanently.
Kimberley Walsh, Sara Cox and Olympian Sam Quek are all set to take the reins ahead of the show’s move to Manchester.
The trio will join current co-presenters Gethin Jones and Kym Marsh, who took a break from the show last year.
The Coronation Street star, 45, left the show in July to focus on her "nearest and dearest" after her dad was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer.
However in good news for Kym's fans, the actress told The One Show she would be back on the programme in February.
The programme's new line-up will present Morning Live daily in alternate pairs, with former Crimewatch star Rav Wilding also on hosting duties.
The BBC show is relocating from London to Manchester city centre in a bid to "reflect the interests of everyone in the UK," according to the broadcaster.
Former Olympic hockey player Sam said: “I’m excited as we’ll be four female presenters who all hail from the North West.
“It’s like a northern powerhouse of women on TV every weekday morning! I’m from The Wirral and I’m so pleased that the move means we’ll be able to travel to not only Manchester, but other places like Liverpool and Leeds.
“We’ll be able to bring viewers a feeling for what’s going on around the UK.”
Radio 2 DJ Sara added: "“Mancunians have a real sense of community spirit and that’s what Morning Live’s all about.
“We want to be like a knowledgeable friend to our viewers – that mate who’s good for a chat and a laugh over a brew but always offers great advice.
“One of the best things about the relocation for me is that I’ll be able to meet my mum for breakfast after I finish work on the show.”
While Girls Aloud singer Kimberley gushed: "I love all the Morning Live girls so, although we won’t be on camera together, I’m hoping we’ll cross paths while I’m up there."
Kimberley will no doubt be looking forward to catching up with Hear'Say star Kym who told Alex Jones and Ronan Keating: "I will be back on Morning Live in February. So I'm very, very excited to continue that. Because we are a family and I've missed it.
"And I've missed Gethin. I never thought I'd say I missed Gethin Jones!"
Morning Live broadcasts Monday-Friday on BBC One at 9.15am.
