Alison Hammond’s rise to fame, dating history, son's Love Island role and net worth

Alison Hammond has become a firm favourite among This Morning viewers as she co-hosts the daytime show every Friday with Dermot O'Leary and now with ITV on the hunt for a new Monday to Thursday host following the exit of Phillip Schofield over the weekend bookmakers are convinced that a member of the show’s current line up is set to be promoted - namely Alison.

No sooner than she'd started working on the flagship show back in 2002 Alison became a fan favourite presenter with This Morning viewers. Prior to working on the programme she previously had a short-lived stint on Channel 4’s Big Brother - more on her rise to fame later.

Now it is being reported that Alison, who earlier this year was announced as the new host of The Great British Bake Off, will land the main presenting job after Phillip’s departure. Holly Willoughby, who has recently made headlines over her ‘feud’ with Phillip, is apparently advocating for Alison to join her on the sofa Monday to Thursday.
