Gethin Jones announced on Friday that Morning Live will be pausing for the summer season.

The BBC host shared the news at the show's conclusion, which he presented alongside Helen Skelton.

The pair were seen busting some moves on the rooftop under the guidance of Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova.

As they wrapped up, Gethin informed the audience: "That's all we've got time for today.

"Morning Live is taking a break for a few weeks, but we'll be back on Monday, 1st September at 9.30am," reports Wales Online.

He finished off by expressing gratitude: "Thank you for watching, thanks for getting involved with the show, we'll see you very soon. Have a lovely summer."

Gethin and Helen join other morning TV hosts in taking a summertime hiatus.

Susanna Reid also recently declared her need for a summer respite, assuring viewers she'd return refreshed for the new term.

"I am off on my summer holidays and we'll see you at the start of the new term," she said next to co-host Richard Madeley.

While Susanna's temporary replacement on GMB remains unconfirmed, it could be one of the regular faces like Ranvir Singh, Kate Garraway, or Charlotte Hawkins.

This Morning is set for a presenter reshuffle too, even welcoming a newcomer to its roster.

With Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley off-duty, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, the usual Friday hosts, will share the stage with some well-known guests.

Emma Willis, Rylan Clark, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Joel Dommett, Craig Doyle, Sian Welby, and Andi Peters are all set to host the show.

Olivia Attwood, a regular on Loose Women, will also be making her first appearance.

Morning Live is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
