PREVIEW: Morning Live, BBC One

A brand new forty-episode daily, topical live series BBC One’s Morning Live launches on BBC Daytime next week.

Each day the hosts Kym Marsh and Gethin Jones will be joined by some members of the presenting family including Dr Xand van Tulleken, Rav Wilding, Anna Haugh, Will Kirk and Sabrina Grant. All come with a wealth of expertise, which will be reflected in that day’s show.

Kym Marsh says: “I’ve always enjoyed morning TV, it’s a great way to start the day (with a cuppa in hand of course). I love nothing more than a good catch up, although this will be on a slightly different scale, more of a daily conversation with our lovely viewers. I think variety is key so I’m really excited to work with Gethin and our fantastic guest presenters to bring the latest in lifestyle, health and consumer concerns.”

Gethin Jones says: “A presenting role on a morning show like this is a bit of a dream for me. What I’m most excited about is the opportunity to delve in to some of the biggest issues at the heart of our everyday lives right now. My parents have been shielding and my sister works in a hospital so, as is the case for lots of people, this year has been such a worry. For me, this show couldn’t come at a better time. I’m looking forward to working alongside Kym to bring viewers across the UK a much needed boost and of course the important information they need.”

Morning Live begins Monday 26th October at 9:15am on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
