Alison Hammond concerned This Morning viewers as she appeared alongside Dermot O'Leary. The presenters made an unusual appearance at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Monday (May 22) having last appeared in their usual Friday slot last week.
The pair have stepped in after it was announced over the weekend that Phillip Schofield was 'stepping back' from This Morning. ITV announced on Saturday (May 20) that Phillip had sensationally quit This Morning after 20 years.
The 61-year-old said in a statement that the programme had 'become the story' and that he wanted to "do what I can to protect the show that I love" after rumours were rife that he and Holly Willoughby were 'barely speaking' behind the scenes amid a 'rift' between the pair.
