Denise Van Outen to host Channel 5's OK! TV

Replacement for Live From Studio Five that launches on 14 February will also feature This Morning's Matt Johnson

Former Big Breakfast presenter Denise Van Outen will be one of the hosts of Channel 5's new celebrity magazine spin-off show, OK! TV.

Van Outen, who was most recently a judge on BBC1's Andrew Lloyd Webber talent shows I'd Do Anything and Any Dream Will Do, and had a short-lived stint co-hosting the Capital Radio breakfast show, will present OK! TV with Matt Johnson, a presenter on ITV1's This Morning.

A replacement for Channel 5's ill-fated Live From Studio Five, the programme promises a mix of "big name interviews, gossip and celebrity banter" which will "ensure no showbiz stone is left unturned".

The show will be produced by Sky News and air between 6.30pm and 7pm. It will launch on 14 February as part of a relaunch of the channel which will see new on-air branding and a new-look for 5 News, presented by new signing Emma Crosby.

Van Outen said: "I have a huge appetite for all things showbiz so this show is right up my street."

Channel 5 owner Richard Desmond will be hoping it works better than the last incarnation of OK! TV, which was axed by ITV after just one series.
