MORNING Live's return date has finally been revealed after BBC bosses pulled the show off air for weeks.

The daytime hit - which features 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.
