Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan will discuss their move from Channel 4 to UKTV with Nick Ferrari at this year's MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival.
The pair will appear at the festival just 24 hours after hosting the last show of a seven year stint in Channel 4's teatime slot. They will reflect on three decades in television in a live interview and Q&A session that will cover everything from the success of their Book Club to the controversy surrounding You Say We Pay.
The pair's new show will run on an as yet unnamed subscription entertainment channel due to launch in October.
They join other celebrities including Sharon Osbourne, who will appear at the annual television event as part of a panel looking at why celebrities sign up to reality TV shows.
The session, titled I'm a Celebrity: Get Me on TV, will see Osbourne talk about her family's decision to appear on the MTV reality hit The Osbournes.
TV chef Jamie Oliver will also be at the festival as the focus of the Richard Dunn Memorial Interview, chaired by Peter Bazalgette.
MGEITF runs from 22-24 August.
