Judge Rob Rinder and former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls are set to join Good Morning Britain as hosts as part of a new 'supergroup rota'/

Television personality Rob, 43, and one-time Strictly Come Dancing star Ed, 54, will be holding guest spots alongside anchor Susanna Reid, 50, later this month.

Judge Rinder's Crime Stories star Rob said: 'I think being a seasoned barrister will stand me in good stead for hosting Good Morning Britain later this month, demonstrating I’m just as comfortable holding politicians to account as I am judging the week’s TV with Susanna on the Gogglebox sofa. 

'Plus, who wouldn’t want the chance to guest present GMB alongside one of their best friends?'

Politician Ed said: 'I always thoroughly enjoy being a guest on Good Morning Britain, but I have a sneaky suspicion I’m going to enjoy hosting alongside Susanna even more.

'Eagle-eyed viewers may remember I appeared as a guest on GMB during my stint on Strictly, and during that appearance Susanna and I recreated one of my dance lifts.

'I can reassure everyone that won’t be happening again, and that my feet will be kept firmly on the ground.'

Ed will appear for three days from Monday November 15 until Wednesday November 17, while Rob will co-host next Wednesday November 10 and again on December 1.

The pair will join a number of stars who appear alongside Susanna, including Adil Ray, Alastair Campbell, Richard Madeley and Martin Lewis.
