AJ Odudu and Mo Gilligan will co-host The Big Breakfast as the iconic morning show returns to Channel 4 for a two-hour special – as part of the channel’s Black to Front Day, which will see the entire programming fronted by black stars. “Like so many of us, I loved The Big Breakfast, and I am so grateful to be asked to host this special event, particularly as part of such a hugely thrilling and history-making day for

British television,” says Mo, 33. On 10 September, the entire schedule will be handed over to programming featuring black talent on screen and behind the cameras. There will be a special edition of Countdown hosted by Sir Trevor Mcdonald, a one-hour Hollyoaks episode featuring black members of the cast, a special Celebrity Gogglebox, and new comedies, too.
