Ranvir Singh is to venture beyond the Good Morning Britain sofas when she presents a new current affairs series for ITV.

Real Stories With Ranvir Singh will explore the accounts of the ordinary people caught up in extraordinary news events.

The broadcaster and journalist, who joined Good Morning Britain in 2014 and previously presented Daybreak, will be joined by reporter Michael Underwood for the six-part series.

The programmes will feature interviews “with people who amaze, inspire or anger us”. Executive producer Mike Blair dubbed it “a current affairs series with people at its heart”.

Real Stories With Ranvir Singh will air on ITV over the summer.
