Roman Kemp will return to the panel for this year's edition of Loose Men, it has been announced.
The annual spinoff of Loose Women is due to air this Thursday as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.
Radio and TV presenter Kemp - a keen advocate of male mental health issues - will be joined on the show by Vernon Kay, ex-rugby star Mike Tindall and Strictly Come Dancing favourite Johannes Radebe.
"I'm really looking forward to returning to the Loose Men panel this year and proud to be amongst this brilliant line up of men," said Kemp.
"To help shine a light on the struggles men face with mental health, open up the conversation and encourage men to talk is really important to me. A simple question to a mate can go a long way.
"It was great to be part of the panel in 2020 for the first ever Loose Men - the response we received from viewers was amazing."
Sally Shelford, editor of Loose Women, said: "It's never been more important to encourage men to talk openly and honestly about their mental health and we're proud that our panel of incredible Loose Men never shy away from the big issues.
"With the findings of our exclusive Loose Men mental health survey showing that almost a quarter of men say their mental health has declined in the last year and 30 per cent say they're not comfortable asking for help if their mental health is suffering, there is an urgent need to kickstart the male mental health conversation.
"Vernon, Mike, Roman and Johannes will be doing just that, opening up on subjects close to their hearts - from mental health to family, fatherhood, love and relationships. Expect some very honest discussions, fiery debates - and of course lots of laughs along the way, too."
Loose Men airs Thursday at 12.30pm on ITV.
