Louise Redknapp to host BBC's 'Weekend'

Louise Redknapp has been unveiled as the new host for the BBC's Something For The Weekend.

According to The Sun, the former Eternal singer will replace nutritionalist Amanda Hamilton, who leaves the show at the end of the year.

It is reported that Redknapp impressed bosses with her three-week guest stint over the summer, and will now join Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer as a regular host.

"I've really enjoyed having the opportunity to interview some great guests," Redknapp said. "Working with Tim and Simon and presenting live is an exciting prospect."

Her latest project, Five's Farmer Wants A Wife, was recently axed due to poor ratings.
