Dermot O'Leary to host C4 breakfast show

Dermot O'Leary is to host his own breakfast programme for Channel 4.

The Big Brother's Little Brother presenter will front Morning Glory, featuring interviews with top Hollywood stars each weekday morning.

A source told The Sun, "This is a major coup for Dermot. The show is a cross between Big Breakfast and Entertainment Tonight on ITV. He has been working on the project in secret for weeks."

The new show will be Channel 4's first attempt at a live breakfast programme since RI:SE was axed in 2003.

"After Rise flopped so badly Channel 4 have been trying to keep the show under wraps until they have it down to perfection," the insider added.

Channel 4 has confirmed that Dermot O'Leary is to front a new breakfast show.

Morning Glory, a live format featuring showbiz news and celebrity guests, will be trialled over two to three weeks next month.

If successful, the show is likely to be commissioned for a longer run. The network is keen to bring in new, live series to the morning slot, which has been filled with repeats of comedies such as Will & Grace and Friends since the demise of RI:SE in 2003.

Morning Glory will be paired up in the 8am hour with Celebrity Big Brother's Little Brother, the O'Leary-fronted spinoff show that has previously occupied a teatime slot. The series will be renamed Celebrity Big Brother's Little Breakfast to accompany its time change.

Dermot is funny. Finally a morning show for when I get dressed to go to work. BBC 1 & GMTV are boring.

I actually used to like RI:SE, but no show could rule Big Breakfast (when Johnny & Denise hosted it the first time. Their 2nd run was a bit flat).

Cool.

It looks like Big Brother host, always get there own shows.

I used to love RI:SE with Ian lee and Kate Lawler, used to watch it all the time.

I like C4 in the morning at the moment, because I love wacting Just Shoot Me,
