MTV's Alex Zane is expected to be named as the new co-host of Channel 4's Popworld later this week.
According to Broadcast, the 26-year-old will replace Simon Amstell when he leaves the long-running show with Miquita Oliver next month. A replacement for Oliver has yet to be confirmed.
Zane has previously worked for Channel 4 on the comedy series Balls of Steel and the reality projects Death Wish Live and Space Cadets: The Satellite Show. He will continue to front his movie review series Screen Play for MTV.
The new-look Popworld will launch on April 22.
