Now, spring and summer weekends will get a boost with the three well-known presenters fronting the early line-up.

Two new entertainment and lifestyle shows will launch with Mabuse hosting Saturday mornings and Whitmore on Sunday mornings.

Meanwhile, Piper returns with a second series of her own Sunday morning show, Katie Piper’s Breakfast Show, following a successful run in 2022.

All three stars are already well known to ITV viewers - former Strictly Come Dancing pro Mabuse judges Dancing On Ice, Whitmore was the host of Love Island until Maya Jama took over this year and is set to launch Laura Whitmore Investigates, and Piper is a regular on Loose Women.
