Kelly Brook is set to be the temporary replacement for Fearne Cotton on Celebrity Juice.
Comedian Leigh Francis announced on Thursday night that the curvy model will be the maternity cover for Fearne, who is due to give birth next month.
Filming on the new series of the ITV2 panel show starts in February, so Kelly will be a team captain opposite Holly Willoughby.

Leigh - the man behind Celebrity Juice's host Keith Lemon - tweeted: 'Juice returns in Feb and while lovely Fearne is off having her baby, Holly and I will be joined by the lovely @IAMKELLYBROOK.'
The Celebrity Juice official Twitter feed also stated: 'So excited we can finally announce @IAMKELLYBROOK as new team captain for next series. Wow! Welcome Kelly! #tissuesattheready.'
Of course, Leigh and Kelly have been friends for years and co-starred in Keith Lemon: The Movie together last year.

His alter-ego Keith said of Kelly's new role: 'Doing Juice again is quite exciting, especially when you have a new captain who has bigger boobs than Fearne Cotton. I’ve heard the new captain is Kelly Brook.'
Fearne is already on maternity leave from her BBC Radio 1 show as she awaits the birth of her first child.
The presenter and boyfriend Jesse Wood announced her pregnancy last August after a one-year courtship.

Leigh had previously joked he thought his mother should be Fearne's maternity cover.
He said: 'I think my mum would be the best replacement for Fearne because she's right fun and lovely, like the mum in Happy Days.'
