The 24 year old, who won 400m and 800m freestyle titles at the 2008 Beijing Games, joins host Gabby Logan and former British team-mate Mark Foster in Barcelona from 29 July - 4 August.

“It’s going to be a very interesting and exciting competition, especially after an Olympic year,” Adlington said.

“I’m so glad it’s back on people’s TV screens as I know people love watching it and people always ask me when the swimming is next on.

“I’m so excited to be part of this amazing BBC team. I have known most of them for a long time but always been on the other side so it’s so nice now I’ve retired to be able to join them.

“I can’t wait to get out to Barcelona and witness some incredible swimming.”
