KIIS 101.1 Melbourne will reveal the new co-host of its breakfast program tomorrow.
Polly 'PJ' Harding announced her resignation in March and should have left the show in June, but her tenure was extended while her co-anchor Jason 'Jase' Hawkins visited his dying father intestate.
PJ's replacement, widely rumoured to be Channel Nine presenter Lauren Phillips, will be confirmed during Friday's broadcast of Jase & PJ.

PJ broke down in tears as she announced her departure live on air on March 24.
She is returning to her native New Zealand after a 'challenging' year which saw her 'priorities change' after getting engaged.
