This Morning has unveiled its brand-new hosting duo – chef Phil Vickery and his daughter Winnie.
Phil and Winnie - who is the daughter of former This Morning star Fern Britton - will appear on the show together in a film where the father and daughter embark on a fishing trip in Falmouth.
Fans of the show will see the pair - who are not afraid to get their hands dirty - hop aboard a small white boat in search of seabass, reports the Mirror.
The pair become so relaxed in fact that Winnie, 22, also reveals some tales about her Dad.
During one sweet moment, Winnie opens up on her love of the sea, Phil says, “I don’t see it myself, you get freezing cold and you get out and go ‘oh that was really good’ - but it wasn’t!” Smiling, Winnie replied, “Coming from the man who on every Christmas Day used to run around the garden if it was snowing, naked?”
After Winnie’s confession, they continue on their travels, landing some impressive bass before they head to Pendennis Castle to prepare lunch with their fresh catch.
A source close to the show said: “Viewers will enjoy seeing this rare insight into Phil’s family life.
“It’s clear to see the fun and close father-daughter bond they have and Winnie is clearly at ease in front of the cameras like her parents so this could be a duo we might be seeing more of.”

Holly Willoughby has made a sensational return to the spotlight one month after stepping down from This Morning after 14 years for a very important cause.
Abbey Clancy has reportedly put her name forward for a "guest" presenter role on This Morning in the wake of Holly Willoughby's exit as permanent host. The 37 year old star seems to have made her position clear as she's eyeing up the hugely-popular daytime TV show, and even wants her husband Peter Crouch to join in.
Former This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby is reportedly the frontrunner to host a BBC reboot of the show Gladiators. It's hoped that Holly, who quit This Morning last month following an alleged kidnapping threat, could be the new face of the show.
ITV This Morning host Rylan Clark ‘walked off’ the set of the show minutes before it was due to start after being ’snubbed’ by a fellow star.
This Morning has landed itself a new duo amid a constantly changing line-up. The ITV daytime show has been subject to a lot of changes this year with the exits of both Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
Josie Gibson was jubilant as she celebrated a massive achievement in her new fitness routine. The 38-year-old This Morning star has been looking better than ever lately, and it seems that that is, in part, down to the fact that she's enlisted a personal trainer to help her achieve her fitness goals.
This Morning viewers have complained and said 'it's too soon' after the programme returned to screens on Wednesday (Nov 1). Presenters Josie Gibson and Rylan Clark were back at the helm of the ITV show today, taking over from Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary who took the reigns for a two-week stint.
This Morning fans have been raving about Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson presenting the show this week, as they beg ITV bosses to make the pair the show's 'main presenters'. The flagship daytime TV show has endured a tough year since the departure of Phillip Schofield, 61, in May, followed by Holly Willoughby, 42, in October.
ITV bosses are said to be holding live auditions to find the perfect star to replace Holly Willoughby on This Morning.The 42-year-old quit her role in the award-winning morning show, after police foiled an alleged plot to 'kidnap and murder' the presenter. ITV bosses have since said that they are still hoping to work with Holly "in the future" but she is not set to return to This Morning.
Rylan Clark is said to be making a return to This Morning next week to present the show alongside Josie Gibson. ITV This Morning bosses are thought to be scrambling to find a permanent replacement for Holly Willoughby, 42, who sensationally left the show on October 10. According to MailOnline, Rylan, 35, who previously presented BBC's Strictly: It Takes Two, will be back on the famous sofa next week for holiday cover, where he will present from Sunday to Thursday.This Morning bosses are said to be 'thrilled' that Rylan is making a return to the show.
TV presenter Ruth Langsford said she would “consider” a return to This Morning, following the abrupt exit from Holly Willoughby earlier this month. Holly took to Instagram on Tuesday, 10 October, to share a shock statement that said she was leaving after 14 years and "will not be returning." Holly's statement began: “I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so much.This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together." Since Holly’s departure, a number of other This Morning hosts have stood in her place, including Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson and Rochelle Humes. Now former This Morning host Ruth Langsford has said she would “consider” returning, although she said reports that the show wants her back “aren’t true”.

This Morning was thrown into turmoil this week, when its main presenter Holly Willoughby unexpectedly quit after 14 years.The 42 year old star said she was living ITV's popular daytime TV show for the sake of "me and my family", following a year that saw her embroiled in a queue jumping drama to see the Queen lying in state, as well as the departure of her co-presenter and friend Phillip Schofield from the show, after he admitted to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger male colleague. It now looks as though This Morning could be heading for a major revamp in the new year, including a new set and possibly new presenters too.
Holly Willoughby is apparently more popular than ever after quitting ITV’s This Morning - as her Instagram following has soared by almost 40,000 people. The 42 year old presenter announced on Tuesday, 10 October, that she was leaving the popular daytime show.
