It means that a rather unlikely face has been brought in to co-host alongside Simon and she is one of Britain's most prominent reality stars.
Vicky Pattison has confirmed that she will be stepping into Tim's shoes as he takes some leave from the show and will step up to the plate to be Simon's co-host.
The star confirmed the news on Instagram as she begged her millions of followers to "wish me luck" as she shared a collection of images from her times on the show as a guest in previous years.
Vicky said: "I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!!!!
"As a long time friend of @sundaybrunchc4 it is an absolute HONOUR to be wearing a slightly different hat this week!
"I will be joining my good pal @rimmersimon as his co-host while the lovely @timlovejoy_official has a very well deserved break!!!
"I am buzzing like an old fridge to chat to all of our gorgeous guests, eat some delicious food and hopefully give anyone watching and nursing a hangover a bit of light comedy reprieve.
"See you bright and early Sunday my loves... and wish me luck."
The TV personality was soon inundated with a whole host of supportive comments from fans who shared their excitement at her major new role.
One wrote: "Looking forward to this."

The pair have been joined by Kate's 22-year-old model daughter Lila. It came after Kate posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently Kate's wellness brand Cosmoss went bust with debts topping £2.9million. Later in July she was seen partying among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival. Meanwhile Kate's daughter Lila has been promoting the new Diabetes Type 1 Barbie doll. Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks. Lila, 22, said: 'Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me. 'To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.'
