Part of the gang: An overzealous member of her new crew showers Christine Bleakley with affection outside the ITV studios The first day on a new job is always nerve-wracking, even for the most confident of people.
But Christine Bleakley showed she's quickly made friends at ITV after a male colleague was spotted giving her a sloppy kiss as a welcome.
The TV presenter, 31, gave a friendly laugh as her new co-worker gave an overzealous display of affection as they left the ITV studios for a team lunch yesterday afternoon.
Excited: An orange Bleakley looked thrilled as she arrived at the ITV studios yesterday ahead of her debut on Daybreak on September 6Stepping into the studios for the first time, she looked happy and excited as she arrived for a meeting ahead of her debut on morning show Daybreak on September 6, although her new spray tan slightly detracted from her overall chic appearance.
Wearing skinny jeans, a black top, white blazer and Louis Vuitton bag, Christine looked trendy as she arrived at the studios, but her intention to be fashion-forward in nude coloured shoes backfired as her feet were darker than the heels.
But regardless of her dayglo tan, it appears Christine's first entrance into ITV went well, as shortly after her meeting she was spotted going for lunch with the new Daybreak crew.
Giggling with her new friends, Christine looked excited about plans for the channel - clutching a Filofax presumably packed with plans for the future.

After announcing plans for the future of ITV's morning programming, Director of Factual, Daytime and GMTV, Alison Sharman said: 'Christine and Adrian will be the lynchpins of Daybreak with their unique and brilliant partnership.'
Christine caused a stir last month when it was announced she would be leaving The One Show earlier than previously agreed.
She had been expected to continue presenting the show until September before moving to ITV, but the BBC announced they would be letting her go from her contract two months early because she couldn't decide whether or not to stay at the corporation.
