Lorraine Kelly - Aled Jones And Lorraine Kelly Land Daybreak Jobs

Lorraine said of her new appointment "I'm really looking forward to this challenge and to working with Aled who is a warm, funny and thoroughly decent bloke and is already a good friend." Aled was equally full of praise for his future co-presenter, saying "I am so thrilled to be joining Itv for their breakfast show. I am thoroughly looking forward to sharing the sofa every morning with such a consummate professional as Lorraine Kelly. We've known each other for a very long time and have always had a lot of fun together. We hope that the viewers enjoy being part of our breakfast family."

It's currently unclear whether or not Aled will continue to present Songs of Praise once he starts his new appointment. Katy Thorogood, the Commissioner for Itv Factual and Daytime, said "Lorraine and Aled are fantastic broadcasters and I'm confident that together they'll be a formidable partnership."
