The Big Brother host will meet and mentor scholars and attend bursaries events.
She said: “As someone who worked their way up and started my career with no connections in the TV industry, coming from a working-class background in Blackburn to finding my feet in the industry, I know how important being supported by such a prestigious institution will be for the recipients.
“I look forward to meeting the talented students and hearing all about their aspirations for the future.”
