Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries has been named as one of the stand-ins for Piers Morgan on his TalkTV show next week.
Morgan is taking the week off from Piers Morgan Uncensored for October half-term, having fronted the programme from New York all this week.
Next week looks set to be another huge one for British politics, with a new Conservative Prime Minister due to be unveiled as replacement for Liz Truss by Friday at the latest.
Dorries - a huge Boris Johnson supporter - will anchor Uncensored alongside journalist Emily Sheffield on Monday and Tuesday night, with the likes of Kate McCann, Harry Cole and Douglas Murray among the hosts later in the week.
The MP said: "I try to avoid TV these days and I'm not one of the MPs you find running across to the cameras on the green or in and out of TV studios but I'm excited about TalkTV and the opportunity to do this during what could turn out to be one of the most eventful weeks we have ever known in British politics."
"It's going to be another maelstrom week in British politics. And I suspect Nadine will be in the centre of it," added Sheffield.
"We rarely agree. And get on enormously. The Conservatives cannot choose another failed leader and risk our economic stability again.
"We will pick apart the soap opera antics and give you a true inside view of what's happening in Westminster next week.
"And on this show we'll be fostering open, passionate debate. Nadine and I have strongly differing views in politics but we share them with each other in good humour."
Piers Morgan Uncensored airs weeknights at 8pm on TalkTV.
