Adil Ray, 50, confirmed he'll be in the Good Morning Britain hotseat in a message to fans on X.

The Lingo anchor - who is part of the rotation of Friday hosts fronting the show since Ben Shephard's departure earlier this year - took to his profile to praise the record viewing figures for his previous episode.

He uploaded a snap showing him on the early morning show sofa with Kate, 57, as well as newsreader Charlotte Hawkins, 49, entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, 54, and weather presenter Laura Tobin, 42.

In his caption, he wrote: "Great figures for Friday’s @gmb thank you all for watching as we paid tribute to 30 years of Friends."

Referring to his posture in the snap he continued: "Not sure why I’m manspreading. @CharlotteHawkns told me to do it.

"See you this Friday with @kategarraway."

One fan was then quick to remark: "The reason as to why the figures were so good is obvious. It’s because you were on Adil!"

Adil has been one of a number of Friday GMB presenters, who have also included Judge Rinder, through the majority of the year.

The switch up came after Ben - who bagged a new presenting role on This Morning - fought back tears on his last GMB which aired on February 23.

At the time, he spoke out about how leaving his show "wife" Kate was the "hardest decision".

Meanwhile, Adil hasn't been shy in getting stuck into the GMB action.

He was recently left gobsmacked after a top Hollywood star revealed their real age - before "storming off" the show after some cheeky banter with Kate.

He also took a savage swipe at former Conservative MP Michael Gove live on-air.

It came after Michael, 56, repeatedly referred to him as Susanna Reid's "colleague" during the appearance.
