James Corden is taking advice from both Piers Morgan and Jimmy Fallon in preperation for his hosting gig on The Late Late Show.

The presenter is to take over the slot in March 2015 and has revealed that he's been urged to be himself by Jimmy.

Speaking to Shortlist magazine he explained: "He just said be yourself. He said you can be someone else once a week or twice a week, but five nights a week? You can't do it. The audience will know."

Piers advised the star not to take criticism to heart because there will always be those who aren't fans of the show.

"Piers just said, 'You need to be aware that this is a piece of TV real estate America has a lot of ownership over, so it'll be tough. People will come after you, but if you can stay strong and get through it, you'll have a blast.' "

Talking about his vision for the programme, James admitted to having huge ambitions, creating a show to captivate viewers across the country.

"I want to make a warm, silly, fun show that will hopefully talk to a generation in the US that may not have found what feels like 'their' show yet. I'd like people to think, 'I don't know what's going to happen tonight,' the way you and I used to when 'TFI Friday' was on.

"It wasn't about the guests; I watched it because I felt like part of the gang, you know?"
