Discussing the new role, Ms Dowden said: "I’m delighted to join the Lorraine family and can’t wait to be part of the brilliant team of presenters on the show. It’s been a tough year but this is something I’m so excited about and can’t wait to get started."

Strictly's Amy Dowden says she 'won’t be getting the all clear for 5 years'

Ms Dowden recently shared a huge health update with "words I dreamed of", telling fans there is “no evidence of disease” after her latest health check following cancer treatment.

The Welsh star has since had a mastectomy and many rounds of chemotherapy, which resulted in some side effects that Amy has often documented on Instagram.

But now posting on social media, she revealed some positive news and hinted at returning to the dancefloor very soon.
