Vernon, who starred on last year's I'm a Celeb, will join Rochelle from August 31 for the rest of the week.
Speaking about his exciting new role, Vernon said: "This Morning is the daytime go to show, so to be asked to guest host on a show I’ve watched since its inception is a huge tick for me."
"I’m really looking forward to working with Rochelle and sitting on that famous sofa."
Rochelle will spend the Bank Holiday Monday with Alison Hammon and said of the news: "I’m so looking forward to hosting with the wonderful Alison Hammond again.

“They deserve a regular spot, bring them back for a weekly slot please, it makes sense! #thismorning.”
Many others agreed, with one writing: “I agree. Ruth and Eamonn are like a breath of fresh air. Not childish but funny. They should become the anchors of this morning.”
Another said: “Completely agree. I just can't understand why they let them go. Friday used to be my favourite day to watch this morning.”
A third added: “Couldn't agree more, love them both so funny.”
