UPDATE: |BBC Breakfast star Louise Minchin teases ‘interesting’ daytime presenting role News

BBC Breakfast star Louise Minchin spoke about her new presenting venture on The One Show on Friday night

BBC Breakfast star Louise Minchin said “it’s a real honour” as she gave fans a glimpse into her latest daytime series.

During her appearance on Friday’s (April 11) edition of The One Show, the television host engaged in conversation with Clara Amfo and Gabby Logan about stepping into her new role on Rip Off Britain.

Back in December 2024, the BBC announced that Louise would be taking over from Angela Rippon on the popular consumer rights show, which first aired in 2009.

Having taken up the mantle in January, Louise now presents the programme alongside Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville.

On this evening’s The One Show, the ex-BBC Breakfast presenter couldn’t hide her enthusiasm at being part of a show she “grew up watching”, reports the Express.

“It’s such an honour to be a part of the family. I grew up watching the legends that are Gloria, Julia and Angela, so to be in the same room as them and presenting the show alongside them is absolutely amazing,” Louise remarked.

“I love what the show does. Every time I do one of the programmes, I take something away and pass it on to my family.”

She added: “It’s a real honour, and they make me laugh as well. I mean, I know it’s a serious programme doing serious things, but they’re just brilliant.”

Louise went on to give a sneak peek at what the new series holds, hinting at a “very interesting” segment involving a dog that was rescued from Romania after suffering a gunshot wound.

However, his new owners realised that his microchip wasn’t registered with a government approved database, which meant that if the dog got lost, then it would be incredibly difficult to locate him.

Louise also discussed the importance of insurance, after a man’s glass conservatory unexpectedly smashed down on him. He tried to claim money, but the company that had installed it had gone bust, so he couldn’t get the money back.

“We’ve been helping him with that, but there’s other people that have those kind of stories,” Louise added, with Gabby assuring viewers that the man wasn’t injured in the accident.

The new series, which begins on Monday (April 14), will also give viewers valuable tips on how to safely book a holiday, as well as featuring special scam episodes.
