TV presenter Lorraine Kelly's successor announced as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant is set to fill her shoes on ITV.

Exciting news for fans of the popular daytime talk show Lorraine, as a new host will be taking over the reins this summer. With the show's regular host taking a well-deserved six-week break over the summer holidays, a familiar face will be stepping in to keep viewers entertained. It has been reported that none other than RuPaul's Drag Race judge and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Michelle Visage will be taking over as host for this special period.

According to sources, Michelle, who rose to fame as a member of the group Seduction and wowed audiences on Strictly in 2019, is a "perfect fit" for the show and will "keep it interesting" while Lorraine is away. She will join the ranks of other guest hosts, such as Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh, who have previously filled in on the show.

Confirming the exciting news, a representative for Michelle shared, "It's always been a dream for Michelle to keep her friend Lorraine's throne warm whilst Lorraine enjoys her summer holiday." And it seems that Lorraine herself is just as thrilled about the news, as she recently shared her excitement about becoming a grandmother after her daughter Rosie announced her pregnancy.

But while the news of a new host may have fans buzzing, Lorraine has also made headlines recently for a different reason. The TV icon hit back at a social media account that tracks her time off, calling it "bizarre" and stating that she is taking time off to care for her ill mother. She also expressed her gratitude for being able to spend more time with her family during this time.

The "Where Is Lorraine?" account has since responded, apologizing for any harm caused and assuring that their intentions were never malicious. With all the excitement and drama surrounding the show, it's clear that Lorraine will continue to captivate audiences, even during the summer break. Are you excited to see Michelle hosting the show?
