Morning Live's return date finally revealed after channel shakeup saw it off air for weeks – and there's not long to go
The daytime hit- which stars Gethin Jones, Helen Skelton and Michelle Ackerley - typically airs directly after BBC Breakfast wraps up at 9:30am each weekday.

However, it was pulled from screens last week as confused viewers were met with episodes of Rip Off Britain.
The consumer series helps customers who feel they've been taken advantage of by large and small businesses.
Beeb bosses didn't confirm when Morning Live would be back with new episodes, with listings for this week previously saying its slot was "off air".
But as episodes of Rip Off Britain continue to air in the show's place in the schedule, its return has now been confirmed.
Morning Live will be live from Salford with brand new episodes from Tuesday, May 6 on BBC One and iPlayer.
While fans have been left furious at the show's break, the BBC previously confirmed it was planned and has happened before in the past.
Last July Morning Live was taken off air for a full month by bosses as the hosts enjoyed their summer holidays.
Earlier this year, former Blue Peter star Gethin Jones sent fans into a frenzy after his Instagram post teased an "engagement".
The popular BBC presenter shared a beautifully shot video on his social media account, where he appeared to pop the question.
However, the final moments of the video revealed it to be a promotional ad for Clogau.

Abi, who is wed to Kevin Webster, has lately been conducting an affair with his sibling Carl Webster. In teasers for the coming week, the pair discover their clandestine relationship revealed by none other than Tracy Barlow. In forthcoming episodes, Carl draws Abi into an embrace which quickly becomes a fervent kiss whilst they're alone at number 13, reports Leicestershire Live.

Making an appearance on Wednesday's This Morning to discuss the plot, Sally, 50, momentarily interrupted her chat to highlight her real-life spouse, Joe Duttine, beaming proudly from the side of the studio as the camera shifted to capture the Coronation Street performer. Sally remarked: "My husband's just there, hi babe!" as the camera moved to show him waving in return. Joe, 55, portrays Tim Metcalfe on the cobbles and wed his co-star Sally in 2022, with the couple frequently posting affectionate photographs on Instagram. Posting on Twitter, now X, one viewer commented: "Married to Tim in real life #thismorning" whilst another fan replied: "Never knew that! ! !" and a separate admirer noted: "yes not many people do to be fair, they got married few years back!" Discussing her current storyline on Wednesday's This Morning, and whether her character Abi's feelings for Carl are genuine or just self-sabotage, Sally revealed: "I think she thinks they're genuine. "I think there's a real need and desire for her to have that perfect love. I mean, there's no such thing, but you know that sort of because he's promised her a family unit. He said he'll take Alfie on and he loves her and will support her and create this home. She wants to believe him." In the same interview, Sally confessed that she's been on the receiving end of some soap fans' anger over her latest plotline. She quipped: "Oh you cannot mess with Kevin Webster! I've been handbagged in the street, yeah!". This comes after Sally recently posted some romantic pictures with Joe during their trip to Rome, Italy. She captioned them: "Rome antics #roma #fithusband #pasta #weekendaway #limone #badleg."

A more serious side was back in 2015, my family thought we'd have to live without my mum, which makes me feel bad for the initial joke now.' Giving his followers an insight into the heartbreaking moment, he explained: 'Where better to start than at the beginning. I shut out my mother foo-foo in December 99, proud memories. 'I was a hefty baby that she didn't mind, which I think is a good insight into the type of person that she is, kind. "She always went above and beyond for me and my sister, making cards, cakes, and chocolate bars. The latter probably best displays her disgusting sense of humour.' Content cannot be displayed without consent He recalled: 'One day, all of that changed when I saw her being wheeled out of our house in a wheelchair, and she looked at me as if she had never seen me before. "So basically the whole of that summer was spent visiting her and her relearning who she was and who we were." Fighting back tears, he went on to say: 'I'd always known that she is amazing, but the fact that she overcame a 20% chance of survival in intensive care. "She has permanently lost her long-term memories, she's lost her taste and her smell." Article continues below George added: 'She has no sense of direction anymore, and to come out of all of that and apologise to us for what she has put us through is really a testament to how lucky we are that she's still here. I am lucky enough to hear that God-awful cackle.' Strictly is due to make its comeback on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this September.

Solo traveller details surprising aspects of Ibiza nightlife and safety tips for women
A woman from the UK has shared her experience travelling to Ibiza alone and was surprised to find out what it was like to head to the clubs and strip on her own A British woman who embarked on a solo trip to Ibiza has shared her experiences of hitting the mega-clubs and strip alone, revealing one surprising detail. Penny Uro spent four days and three nights at Hotel Vibra Algarb in Playa d'en Bossa, just two miles from Ibiza Town. She decided to travel independently, wanting to "let her hair down" after facing some personal challenges. The 41-year-old single parent took to Instagram to share her insights with her 24,000 followers in a video titled: "Things I learned as a solo traveller to Ibiza". The Daily Star reports she advises single women to pack earplugs, opt for comfortable footwear in nightclubs, make friends with other solo travellers, and explore beachside eateries together. The globe-trotting enthusiast first gave her verdict on the clubs. Penny said: "Go to the Old Town, Ibiza has so much more than bars and clubs. "Ushuaïa Ibiza had the best atmosphere by far. Pacha and Hï Ibiza were packed, think tinned sardines. Drinks were prohibitively expensive - €18 for water, €30 for vodka and Coke." Speaking to What's The Jam later, she revealed the world-class nightlife was the 'sole' reason she chose to visit Ibiza. Despite most people travelling to Ibiza in large groups, Penny didn't want to miss out on letting her hair down and decided to go alone. Although initially attracted to the Spanish island for its nightlife and clubs, she found the beach clubs were where she had the most fun. However, Penny - who practises as a solicitor in the Midlands - confessed she was taken aback by the widespread drug scene on the island. While strolling along the strip, Penny remarked: "Every other person who walked past me was as high as a kite, but no one was intimidating, and everyone was just there having a good time. "Alcohol in clubs is extremely expensive, so I can see why people turn to other things. "While walking from the club to my hotel at 1am, about a 10-minute walk, I was approached eight times by different men trying to sell me drugs, which I found quite surprising." Beyond that, the only other drawback was feeling like a 'sardine' in the 'packed' clubs where Penny felt like she couldn't move much, let alone dance. Her video has garnered more than 26,000 views and countless comments on her 'Penny Goes Travelling' Instagram account. Back in June, Penny journeyed to Egypt and admitted she "couldn't wait to leave" the country. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Despite having visited Egypt multiple times before, she described the "hassling for money and scamming culture so exhausting" during her latest trip. She was allegedly bothered by Uber drivers, tour guides, street vendors, and airport staff - even whilst travelling with four men and a child. The globe-trotter described her hotel experience as "shocking", citing relentless harassment for tips and catcalling. She further commented: "Even though I was travelling with four men, it seems that doesn't put the locals off. I used to get hassled a lot, but I was never put in a place of fear. "But this time, I experienced physical force, aggression, and people actively following me into private areas like the ladies' toilets. "If you don't mind being ogled at, cat called, constantly asked for money in return for nothing, and if you enjoy your personal space being invaded, then Egypt is perfect. "Otherwise, get back on the plane."
