Kate Garraway's Life Stories fans can expect change after 'production delays'

Life Stories viewers will see a different face than expected on this week's instalment of the personal chat show.

Kate Garraway is the new face of the ITV chat show after she took over from Piers Morgan.

The 54-year-old broadcaster was the former Good Morning Britain anchor's final guest before she took over the reins of the 60-minute programme.

Her first episode, which aired last week, featured Liverpool FC legend John Barnes.

The 58-year-old gave an insight into the highs and lows of his illustrious career during the hour-long interview.

Viewers took to Twitter to praise the interview and lauded Kate's interviewing style.

Peter said: "@officialbarnesy seems at ease with @kategarraway more so than he would’ve been with @piersmorgan."

Rob said: "10 seconds into #LifeStories already a million times better presented than @piersmorgan."

Lisa added: "Ah @kategarraway was already so much better than Piers Morgan in the first 10 mins. Always made it about the interviewee. Great work Kate!"

Welsh singer Charlotte Church was due to feature in the show's second instalment, however due to an "ongoing production delay" there has been a listings shakeup.

Instead, viewers will see Kate interview Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain on Thursday (February 10).

Since winning the show in 2015, the star baker has signed a number of TV contracts, as well as becoming a regular contributor on The One Show.

Kate Garraway’s Life Stories airs Thursdays at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub
