Konnie Huq to front 'Zoo Days' for Five

Former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq is to front Five's third series of Zoo Days.

The show will be Huq's first regular hosting role since leaving the children's fixture, though she has been linked to both Xtra Factor and Big Brother's Little Brother.

The next run of Zoo Days, scheduled to start in mid June, will follow the keepers and animals at Colchester Zoo in Essex.

A fourth run, in the autumn, will return to the show's previous home of Chester Zoo.

Executive producer Trish Powell said: "Konnie and the team have been given an amazing opportunity at Colchester Zoo.

"We get to see what happens before the doors open and after they close. Our hidden cameras have been able to capture births and first meetings."

Previous series have not featured an on-screen presenter.
