Westlife's Kian Egan has signed up to front a segment that's part of ITV's popular show, This Morning.

The 'Flying Without Wings' singer will host the interactive part of 'The Hub', which is presented by Matt Johnson and Stephen Mulhern, and he told The Sun newspaper that he can't wait to start his exciting new television role:

"I've always enjoyed This Morning, so I was delighted when I got the call to be part of the team. The Hub is such a great way to interact with viewers discussing different topics - some serious and some light-hearted."

"I've also heard that it is a lovely team there, so I'm really looking forward to sharing the screen with Eamonn and Ruth."

This Morning's executive producer Karl Newton also praised Egan's natural ability and described him as "amazingly talented", adding: "Our viewers will be in for a TV treat when he takes over 'The Hub'. He is sure to brighten up our overcast summer."
