Kate Lawler is set to replace Edith Bowman on Channel 4 morning show RI:SE.

The Big Brother winner has signed a six-figure deal for a year and will step into Edith's shoes later this month.

She will host the show alongside Iain Lee while keeping up her slot on London's Capital Radio.

Producer Justin Gorman told The Sun: "When we tested Kate she came across as she did in Big Brother - natural, smart and full of life."

Edith quit after a last-ditch bid to attract more viewers to the ailing show failed.

She is now presenting Radio 1's Saturday morning show with former RI:SE host Colin Murray.

Good luck to Kate.

Although I fear that RI:SE isn't exactly setting the heather alight just now, so to speak.

Her contract is for a year, but will the programme last that long?
