The Strictly Come Dancing star will host E24 alongside James Dagwell, who currently presents several programmes for the channel.
The 15-minute show is a weekly round-up of news from the world of film, TV and music, as well as interviews and behind-the-scenes reports.
It will be the first regular entertainment news slot since Zero30, which later became Liquid News. The series was axed in 2003.
An initial six-week pilot run has been commissioned.
E24 begins on Saturday at 10.45am and 5.45pm on BBC News 24. It will be repeated at 5.45pm and 9.45pm on Sundays.
