C4 confirms O'Leary for breakfast slot
Channel 4 has confirmed weekend press reports that Dermot O'Leary is to front a new breakfast show.

Morning Glory, a live format featuring showbiz news and celebrity guests, will be trialled over two to three weeks next month.

If successful, the show is likely to be commissioned for a longer run. The network is keen to bring in new, live series to the morning slot, which has been filled with repeats of comedies such as Will & Grace and Friends since the demise of RI:SE in 2003.

Morning Glory will be paired up in the 8am hour with Celebrity Big Brother's Little Brother, the O'Leary-fronted spinoff show that has previously occupied a teatime slot. The series will be renamed Celebrity Big Brother's Little Breakfast to accompany its time change.
