The special appearances will serve as a celebration of Vorderman’s return to 5 as a team captain on the quiz show Celebrity Puzzling.
Hosted by Jeremy Vine, the show sees Sally Lindsay join Vorderman as a team captain as famous faces attempt to test their minds with a range of puzzles and brainteasers.
Throughout tomorrow’s schedule, Vorderman will be sharing her love of puzzles and giving viewers a taste of what they can expect from the new show.
Vorderman said: “I’m really looking forward to spending the day across 5’s daytime shows. It will be great to chat about everything from the issues of the day to real-life stories and consumer topics, and of course to share a bit about Celebrity Puzzling. I love a good puzzle, so I’m excited to give viewers a taste of what’s coming.”

Federico Ruiz, commissioner for Daytime at 5, said: “Carol is a broadcasting powerhouse and we’re really excited to have her taking over our daytime schedule.
“Each of our shows has its own unique personality and audience, from debate and current affairs to consumer issues and heartfelt stories. Viewers will get to enjoy her trademark energy and sharp wit all day on 5, probably best to call in sick so you can tune in with no interruptions!”
