AJ Odudu and Mo Gilligan are set to host the return of The Big Breakfast as it heads back to our small screen this summer.
First launched in 1992 as a weekday morning show, the popular programme last aired in its original format more than two decades ago.
However, it's been announced the show will make a comeback for four weeks in August and AJ and Mo, both 34, have been confirmed as the faces of the show.
The pair were in the front seat when Channel 4 aired a one-off special last year as part of its Black To Front project, which saw the broadcaster air shows fronted by black stars and featuring black contributors.
The project was part of Channel 4’s commitment to represent and champion under-represented audiences and communities.
AJ and Mo were awarded the Royal Television Society award for entertainment performance earlier this year thanks to their efforts on the special.
The new setup will see the show be broadcast live on Saturday mornings for two-and-a-half hours.
AJ and Mo will welcome a range of guests to the show and dissect a number of the day’s hot topics.
Speaking about the show, AJ said: "There really is nothing like The Big Breakfast on our screens.
"I loved hosting it last year and I am looking forward to being back at the house to kick off summer weekends on this now award-winning show."
Mo added: “I love being part of this incredible history-making show. The whole team are so spectacular, and I have so much fun working with AJ – she’s one of the best in the business.
"And now a live summer series? Let’s go!"
The show become popular during its original run and was presented from The Big Breakfast House.
A number of famous faces have held onto presenter duties for the show previously, Chris Evans, Gaby Roslin, Zoe Ball and Denise van Outen.
Phil Harris, head of entertainment at Channel 4, said: "Mo and AJ both have their own big primetime entertainment shows on Channel 4 this year with The Lateish Show and The Bridge, so it’s really exciting to be able to harness their combined power and brilliant chemistry to smash into the morning schedules once again.”
The Big Breakfast is set to air live on Channel 4 on Saturday mornings in August.
