Alison Hammond has shared why bagging her new hosting gig on The Great British Bake Off reduced her to tears as she was supported over her latest achievement. Last week it was announced that the This Morning star will be the new co-host of Bake Off alongside Noel Fielding.
She's replacing Matt Lucas on the hit Channel 4 show after the comedian announced his plans to quit back in December, explaining he was leaving as he could no longer commit to the programme’s schedule alongside his other projects. He described his time on the show as a "delicious experience".
Confirming her new TV gig, Alison shared a video to Instagram in which she interviewed herself - sort off. Alison filmed a celebratory cake which recreated the inside of the tent where the judges cast their verdicts on the contestants' bakes. Sweet figurines of Paul and Prue were included as well as ones of Bake Off's newest hosting duo.
