SINGER and TV star Peter Andre will co-host a new show on GB News throughout December, it has been announced.
Andre, 50, will present Saturday Morning Live with Ellie Costello from 10am-12pm from this Saturday after making his presenting debut on GB News in May.
He said: “I can’t wait. Ellie and I got on so well in May, and although I was quite nervous because breakfast is such a tough gig, I really loved it.
“Viewers are really included in GB News programmes, so there’s an intimacy to your relationship with the audience that’s rare in television.
“I got wonderfully kind feedback from everyone, so it’ll be a joy to join the GB News family throughout Christmas.”

The 50-year-old weighed in on debates while presenting in May, including the “scandal” surrounding former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield and his affair with a “much younger” ITV colleague.
While interviewing a publicity coach, Andre said: “ITV have been very much at the forefront of promoting ‘be kind’ and this seems to be a big question mark around the mental health of the young lover.”
He also reacted to the Government refusing to provide WhatsApp messages as evidence in the Covid inquiry.
Andre told a political commentator on the show: “Obviously there has been a lot of leaks to journalists so the question is, should the prime minister have an element of privacy in regards to the WhatsApp messages?
“He is in a position of authority so it’s very questionable.”
There were calls on social media for Andre to be made a permeant fixture after the broadcast.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
