Alison Hammond hints at split from 'secret' boyfriend with two-word remark on ITV This Morning

Alison Hammond appears to have hinted at a split with her 'secret' boyfriend after a telling two-word remark on This Morning. The presenter had lots to be celebrating as she returned to the helm of the ITV daytime show on Friday (March 17) alongside Dermot O'Leary.

Alison was back fronting the show after confirming that she was the new co-host of The Great British Bake Off. A space on the hit Channel 4 show had become available after Matt Lucas announced he had quit last year. The comedian said in December he was leaving as he could no longer commit to the programme’s schedule alongside his other projects but described his time on the show as a "delicious experience".

And on Friday morning (March 17), Alison exclaimed 'it's official' as she finally confirmed her next big TV role. Dermot was quick to show his support as he applauded her new gig as they returned to This Morning. Dermot gushed that Alison was the "new Bake Off host" before Alison said: "Can you believe it?"
