Appearing on today’s episode of This Morning (Friday August 30), Rylan told his pals Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford how it was all going to work.

Zoe has been presenting the show on her own since 2011.

“Me and Zoe are sort of sharing duties, she’s doing the Breakfast Show on Radio 2,” he explained.

“She just wanted to take a step back. It’s a lot of work doing early mornings and nights as well.”

He then paused before revealing: “I might as well just say it! I’m going to be doing Mondays and Tuesdays, Zoe’s doing Wednesdays and Thursdays and we’re both doing Friday.”

Rylan has already got to work on Strictly.

A Tweet from the show showed him at the launch party interviewing some of the contestants.

“It’s crazy,” he said. “We did the launch show on Monday, the red carpet. The couples get paired up today, it’s the show. Obviously you’ll see it next Saturday.

“It’s glitter – proper glitter!”
