The episode is likely to centre on Kate’s battle to help hubby Derek Draper with long Covid.
It will air before the end of the year.
Kate, 54, will then present the final three episodes early next year.
Piers said this evening: “I can’t think of anyone who I’d rather finish my run with.
“Kate was a wonderfully loyal colleague during my five years on Good Morning Britain and is one of my favourite people in the world.
“How she’s handled the devastating situation with Derek sums her up. She’ll be as brilliant at Life Stories as she is at everything else.”

Piers has fronted the show since its 2009 debut.
His interviewees include Joan Collins, Captain Sir Tom Moore and Paul Gascoigne.
Kate said: “I’d never try to be Piers. But he did say you’ll be gripping and wonderful in your own right.”
An ITV insider added: “Piers has created a legendary format. Everyone parted on the best of terms and wish Kate the best of luck.”
Piers will also host a global TV show on new channel talkTV as part of a huge deal with The Sun’s parent company News Corp.
