Big Brother Kate to host Ri:se

Big Brother winner Kate Lawler has been hired to replace Edith Bowman on Channel 4's struggling (and during the war much reduced) breakfast show RI:SE. According to the Sun she has been handed a "one-year, six-figure deal" to co host the show with Iain Lee after Bowman, the only remaining presenter on the show, decided to quit the show as it hit another audience figure low in February.
