Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins will front a new daytime talk show on ITV.
Princess Pictures has renewed its relationship with the pair to launch the new studio-based series, Broadcast reports.
The show is reportedly a co-production between Princess and Perkins's indie Square Peg TV, and is being lined up for the 4pm timeslot.
The Great British Bake Off hosts will interview celebrities and real-life characters on the chatshow, which is the pair's first daytime job since they fronted Light Lunch and Late Lunch on Channel 4 between 1997 and 1998.
Helen Warner, ITV's director of Daytime, said: "I've been a big Mel and Sue fan for years. Both are brilliant broadcasters and comedians and bring a unique warmth and charisma as presenters."
Meanwhile, Princess Productions' Emma Hardy added: "We're so excited to be producing this new series for ITV, and thrilled to be making live television again with Mel and Sue...

It’s been sad times in the UK lately as lesbians across the land come to terms with the fact that the continued no-news from the BBC about Lip Service is making the chance of a Series 3 look as dead in the water as Cat in the road. This is a good time to urge you to sign the petition.
In the meantime we need a bit of good news, so what if we told you that Anna Skellern (Lexy) was to play gay again in a show written by, and starring the baking hot Sue Perkins alongside Shelley Conn, who once locked lips with Laura Fraser in Nina’s Heavenly Delights? Well, this is exactly what we’re telling you. This is happening in real life.

It’s Pink List time again, and it’s been more exciting than ever because The Independent On Sunday, the British newspaper that compiles the list of the country’s 101 most influential Lgbt people, have, for the first time, invited people to send in nominations. These votes will then be considered by the judging panel, which features the likes of Diva magazine editor Jane Czyzselska, Conservative MP Margot James, Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas and Tamsin Omond, founder of the environmental campaign group Climate Rush.
Last year, there were 31 of our kind on the list, which is still quite a few steps from equality, but this was nine more than in 2009. So, by our reckoning, there should be at least 40 women on this year’s list.
Because we love a vote and writing lists, we’ve combined the two and we’ve written a list of the ten women that we would vote for.
