GMTV legend Penny Smith made a surprise return to television on Friday with an appearance on Morning Live and now it's thought that she could be seen on the BBC show on a more permanent basis

Penny, 67, spent 17 years on the GMTV sofa before being axed as part of an ITV cost-cutting drive in 2010.

Penny Smith was one of the familiar faces of ITV's GMTV alongside Lorraine Kelly and Eamonn Holmes, but left the show in 2010
