Claudia Winkleman has been confirmed as the surprise choice to replace Jonathan Ross on Film 2010.
The presenter, who is best known for Strictly Come Dancing spin-off series It Takes Two, will take over as host of the show later this year.
Speaking about her new role, she said: "I am completely over the moon about being given this enormous honour and am incredibly proud to be presenting the new look Film 2010. It's an honour to follow on from the brilliant Jonathan Ross.
"I have been lucky enough to cover the BAFTAs and present the UK broadcasts of the Oscars and the Golden Globes for years and now to be able to work with the producers on Film 2010 is just amazing."
The popular BBC series originally launched in 1972 with veteran movie critic Barry Norman. He was replaced in 1999 by Jonathan Ross.
Many believed that the critic and broadcaster Mark Kermode would fill the role. However, he revealed last week that he hadn't been approached about the series.
Film 2010 will relaunch in September with a new format, which will see it feature a range of cinema experts and live studio guests.
