has stunned her fans by announcing her shock return to the Today show,

The veteran presenter, 66, shared the exciting news to social media on Tuesday, revealing she would be making a guest appearance on the Channel Nine breakfast show on Wednesday to promote her new book.

'Tomorrow, after more than eight years away from the Today Show, I'll be back at the desk with and Sarah Abo, talking about my new book, all things Titanic and Evelyn Marsden,' Lisa shared on Instagram.

'With maybe a little reminiscing thrown in for good measure. See you after 8 o'clock.'

Lisa's new book The Titanic Story Of Evelyn is an in-depth investigation into the only of the 1912 sinking, and is available now in bookstores. 

The Today show co-hosts quickly took to the comment section to share their excitement.

'Haha. Don't forget to set your alarm,' Karl quipped.

'Ooh this will be fun!! Cannot wait!! Have you cleared your calendar for August..?' Sarah added, to which Lisa cheekily responded: 'Funny you should say that Sarah…I'm remarkably free these days!' 

Lisa previously co-hosted the Today show alongside Karl Stefanovic for over a decade, from 2007 to 2017. 

It comes after the veteran broadcaster opened up about stepping back into public life, the emotional toll of constant scrutiny and her new book in the latest issue of Stellar. 

'This project came right in the middle of all of the court drama, and it was just an idea I came up with one day that made me lean in. I wasn't even looking for a project. I was just trying to get through every day,' she told the publication. 

'It was the most incredibly wonderful distraction to be able to delve into someone else's life – not my own – because I was everywhere in the press. I was sick of me. I can't imagine how the rest of the country felt.'

At the heart of Wilkinson's book is Evelyn Marsden - the only Australian-born survivor of the RMS Titanic sinking.

It's a story that resonated with her, quickly becoming more than just historical research.
