Its comes after the presenter was made an MBE in the New Year Honours for her services to broadcasting, journalism and charity.

She said: "I've always loved having the chance to talk to people, both on air and off.

"Everyone has a story to tell and the wonderful thing about this show is that you have the airtime to delve into the areas of guests lives that the viewers might not know about already.

"It's also a chance to understand more about the bits we do already know about, both good and bad, and hear it in their own words."

In September 2021, Kate won the authored documentary prize at the National Television Awards for her hard-hitting show Finding Derek, which documented her husband Derek Draper's battle with coronavirus.

Mr Morgan announced his departure from Life Stories in September after more than 100 episodes over 12 years.
