"Today with Des and Mel" was a British television series hosted by Des O'Connor and Melanie Sykes. The show featured celebrity guests, phone-in competitions and chat between the hosts. It was produced by Carlton Television, Carlton Television, at the The London Studios. The show was previously produced at Teddington Studios.

"Today with Des and Mel" was loosely based on the format of the popular American television show, "Live with Regis and Kelly".

At one stage, the show was given the green light for an evening version to be made. For a short time in January 2005, the show appeared in a 5 p.m. slot, but this was soon dropped, and a full prime-time version never came about.

ITV announced on May 12, 2006 that the show had been axed.

Guest Presenters

Paul O'Grady was a regular guest presenter, with ITV bosses being so impressed with his performance, that they gave him his own show - "The Paul O'Grady Show" (the show later moved to Channel 4 in 2006). Dale Winton, Bradley Walsh and Richard Whiteley also covered for Des on occasion. Jenny Powell - who contributed a regular Friday feature describing various tasks for the show that she had undertaken that week, that was dropped a while into the show's run - occasionally covered for Mel.
