Dermot O'Leary has expressed his sadness following the news that his co-presenter Alison Hammond is leaving This Morning. The beloved TV duo have been a fan favourite since joining forces on the ITV daytime show.
Speaking about Hammond's departure, O'Leary described it as a "sad day" for the programme. "Alison brings so much joy and energy to the screen," he said. "She’s not just a colleague but a dear friend, and she’ll be sorely missed."
End of an Era for 'This Morning'
Alison Hammond, who has been a staple on This Morning for years, announced her exit earlier this week. Known for her infectious laugh and warm personality, Hammond has become one of the most recognisable faces on British television.
O'Leary, who often shared the sofa with her, admitted the show won’t be the same without her. "There’s no replacing Alison," he added. "Her authenticity and humour are what made her so special."
What’s Next for Alison Hammond?
While details about Hammond’s next career move remain under wraps, rumours suggest she may be focusing on new projects outside of daytime TV. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement.
In the meantime, ITV has yet to confirm who will take over Hammond’s role, leaving viewers speculating about potential replacements.
