The 44-year-old presenter will get her own weekly series, aptly entitled 'The Sara Cox Show', which will feature entertainment news, live music and culture with several celebrity guests discussing the best in books, theatre, films and TV.
Sara said in a statement: "I can't wait to keep people company on a weekend morning as they mooch about in their jamas, making crumpets and sorting the kids out.
"Whether it's people feeling delicate after a big night out or parents getting ready for an activity filled weekend, I'll bring them funny, relaxed chat with their favourite stars and no doubt there'll be some daft capers along the way.
"It's a dream come true to host a show like this and I hope to brighten up people's weekends with our great guests and some excellent live music."
The much-anticipated show has been commissioned by ITV heads of daytime, Jane Beacon and Clare Ely.
They said: "We're delighted Sara Cox is joining ITV's line-up of must-watch weekend morning television. She's a fantastic broadcaster and we are thrilled to have her."
Amanda Ross, executive producer of 'The Sara Cox Show', added: "I'm sure viewers will love to spend a bit of quality time with Sara.
"Her natural charm, enthusiasm and energy will make this a really fun watch with plenty of take-away."
