Gethin Jones issues work update as he says he's 'pretty excited'
TV presenter Gethin Jones is due to return to our TV screens on a (mostly) daily basis this week after an extended break from Morning Live. The morning show has been off air for a prolonged Easter break since April 11 and but is due to air live once again from tomorrow, May 6. Gethin shared a short video to his Instagram which showed him and co-host, Michelle Ackerley jigging around to the opening bars of Marvin Gaye's Heard it Through the Grapevine in anticipation of the show's return. He wrote alongside it: "Me and @michelle_ackerley pretty excited to be back with you on @bbcmorninglive tmrw!!" Before detailing what was on the cards for the opener of what will be the seventh series of the morning magazine. Since the show has been off air Gethin has been enjoying time away from screens big and small and jetting off to the USA where he visited Chicago.

Nice. Also during his time off Gethin took the opportunity to get on two wheels, this time of the road bike kind, to cycle alongside pal Sir Chris Hoy. Hoy showed off his impressive cycling skills as he blew away Gethin and his friends during an "epic day" in Wales. The 49-year-old was back on his bike but swapped the velodrome for a muddy trail as he joined a group of friends for a day of mountain biking at One Planet Adventure in Llandegla, Denbighshire. As well as the Morning Live host Jones, Hoy was joined by presenter OJ Borg, former Olympic cyclists Philip Hindes and Rob Hayles. The six-time Olympic champion, who was first diagnosed with cancer in September 2023, revealed in October last year that his condition was terminal. A scan found primary cancer in his prostate which had metastasised to his bones including his shoulder, pelvis, ribs and spine, with doctors giving him between two and four years left to live. Tune into BBC Morning Live weekdays at 9.30am or catch up on iPlayer.
