THIS Morning star Alison Hammond has been poached by the BBC for a huge new entertainment show that sees her host solo.
The TV star, who co-presents the ITV daytime show alongside Dermot O'Leary, will be joined by some of the biggest names in showbiz for the six-part series.
Alison Hammond's Big Weekend sees Alison, 49, head to the homes of celebrities to spend two days getting to know them.
It'll mean the TV star can find out the ins and outs of the show's stars, giving viewers an intimate glimpse into their lives at home.
Coming to BBC One and iPlayer in 2025, and filmed across the UK, the show, made by BBC Studios Entertainment, promises to serve up laughs, revelations, and celebrity realness.

The Great British Bake Off host said: “I’m so excited to serve up some big lols and tons of OMG revelations on the BBC as I spend some quality time with some of the UK’s favourite celebrities.
"When I’m on a mission no secret is safe, and trust me no stone or cupboard will go unturned!”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC added: “Alison is one of the most warm-hearted presenters in the UK.
"It’s no surprise that big name celebrities are lining up to have her spend the weekend at their homes. It’s going to be a blast!”
Details of when the show will air are yet to be confirmed, with celebrity guests due to be announced at a later date.
It comes after a date was set for Alison to appear on the new series of Paul O'Grady show For The Love Of Dogs this month.
In January it was confirmed that This Morning star Alison would be the new host of the hit ITV show, following Paul's sad death last year at the age of 67.
Paul had hosted For The Love of Dogs since 2012 and won four National Television Awards for the programme.
Fans of the programme will get to see the adorable canines she meets when the new series begins on Tuesday, April 16.
When she was announced as the new host, Alison said: “I am very aware that I can never replace the iconic Paul in this wonderful series, but if I can continue to shine a light on the brilliant work done at Battersea and help to tell the stories of these beautiful dogs, then it will be an absolute privilege to give it my all.

"I can’t wait to share the joy of their searches for new loving forever homes and hopefully make lots of furry friends of my own along the way!”
Alison's appointment angered some fans of the show after they learned she had never owned a dog herself.
She appeared to address the backlash on This Morning, saying: "It's a massive responsibility.
"And that's what I want to do the show because I want to find out about dogs, and I've always wanted a dog.
"You know that. But I've always wanted a dog. But you have to take it very, very seriously, don't you?"
Dog lovers Amanda Holden, Martin Clunes and Ricky Gervais were also reportedly in the running to host the reboot, as was Paul's close friend Julian Clary.
But Alison revealed there are no hard feelings between her and Julian as she shared a sweet message from him on This Morning.
She said Julian had told her: "Paul actually thought a lot of you. He would be so happy you got the job, as am I."
