Vivek, who has been an associate editor on the show for the last 15 months, said in a statement: "Having grown up watching the show, it’s an incredible privilege and honour to take on the role of editor of This Morning.
This Morning's current editor Martin Frizell announced in November that he would be leaving the programme after 10 years, using his time away from ITV to care for his wife, former GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2022.
ITV has announced the new boss of This Morning, with associate editor Vivek Sharma set to take over in March.
Last November, Martin, 65, announced that he would be stepping down from the role in Spring 2025, sharing that he expected his "family priorities to change next year".
