Just after she was announced to become one of the guest hosts for "The View", Heidi Montag aka Heidi Pratt has expressed her excitement to appear on the October 1 episode of the show. The 23-year-old actress will fill the position of the series' permanent host, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is on maternity leave.

"I've enjoyed each time Spencer and I have been on 'The View' as guests," Montag tells MTV News. "It will be exciting seeing it from the other side. I've always admired Elisabeth, and hopefully I'll be able to provide plenty of my own views while filling in for her."

Beside Heidi Montag, several other celebrities have also been slated to guest host the upcoming episodes of "The View". Ana Ortiz, who stars as Hilda Suarez on "Ugly Betty", will appear on the show's October 8 episode. Meanwhile, "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi will guest host on October 15.
