TIM Lovejoy is to be replaced by a former Geordie Shore star after taking a break from Sunday Brunch.
The TV host has hosted the programme alongside Simon Rimmer since 2012 but it has been revealed that he will be stepping down from hosting this week’s edition of the programme.

It means that a rather unlikely face has been brought in to co-host alongside Simon and she is one of Britain’s most prominent reality stars.
Vicky Pattison has confirmed that she will be stepping into Tim’s shoes as he takes some leave from the show and will step up to the plate to be Simon’s co-host.
The star confirmed the news on Instagram as she begged her millions of followers to “wish me luck” as she shared a collection of images from her times on the show as a guest in previous years.
Vicky said: “I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!!!!
“As a long time friend of @sundaybrunchc4 it is an absolute HONOUR to be wearing a slightly different hat this week!
“I will be joining my good pal @rimmersimon as his co-host while the lovely @timlovejoy_official has a very well deserved break!!!
“I am buzzing like an old fridge to chat to all of our gorgeous guests, eat some delicious food and hopefully give anyone watching and nursing a hangover a bit of light comedy reprieve.
“See you bright and early Sunday my loves… and wish me luck.”
The TV personality was soon inundated with a whole host of supportive comments from fans who shared their excitement at her major new role.
One wrote: “Looking forward to this.”
As another added: “Check you out Mrs! You’re going to smash it!”
It is Vicky’s first venture back into daytime TV since her nine-month hosting stint on Loose Women in 2016.
A synopsis for Vicky’s debut episode as host, reads: “Simon Rimmer and guest presenter Vicky Pattison host the food and chat show. Rosie Jones tells us about her new Channel 4 sitcom, Pushers.
“Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale gives us the lowdown on the band’s new album.
“Fleur East chats about the Hits Radio Breakfast Show.”
