The 72-year-old former Olympian and reality TV personality will debut on the right wing US outlet on the Hannity show, which is hosted by political commentator Sean Hannity, on Thursday evening.

She said: "I am humbled by this unique opportunity to speak directly to Fox News Media's millions of viewers about a range of issues that are important to the American people."

Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott described Jenner as "an inspiration to us all".

She added: "She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience."

Jenner won the men’s Olympic decathlon in 1976 and decades later became a reality TV star through the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

In 2015, aged 66, she revealed her identity as a trans woman during an interview with US TV journalist Diane Sawyer. Three months later, Caitlyn Jenner confirmed her name change in a Vanity Fair cover story.

She then documented her new "new normal" life as a transgender woman in television series I Am Cait. The reality show ran for two seasons.

In 2019, Jenner appeared on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

A member of the Republican Party for much of her life, Jenner ran in the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election to little effect.
