Bosses of the lunchtime debate show are keen to push the programme to greater success and as a result, some of the panellists could be replaced.

A source told the Daily Mirror: “There are lots of exciting surprises in the pipeline for September. It will be back bigger and better than ever to build on current success.”

All of the panellists’ contracts run out at the end of next month so producers must make a decision about whose deals they are going to renew.

Katie Price and Vicky Pattison - who were brought in as panellists earlier this year - have proved a huge hit with viewers over the past seven months and are reportedly being lined-up to make a return for a few episodes in the autumn - depending on their work schedules.

Producers are remaining tight-lipped on who will be dropped over the coming months but it’s believed Ruth Langsford and Andrea McLean will remain as the show’s main hosts.

Coleen Nolan, Sherrie Hewson, Janet Street Porter and Nadia Sawalha are also thought to be safe from the chop, while Judy Finnigan, who is rarely on it anyway, could be axed.

Myleene Klass and Rebecca Adlington, who have made a few appearances, aren’t said to be scheduled for further dates.

The show’s shake-up comes following the departure of Martin Frizell as the new editor Sally Shelford is determined to make the programme “less newsy and more fun.”
