That's because Alison's goodbye to Sam came hours after Josie and Holly Willoughby bid a farewell to another key team member on This Morning.

The pair, who were presenting the show together for the first time, were joined by chef Phil Vickery who was on hand to rustle up a range of fruit crumbles for the hosts.

Following the cooking segment, the team also prepared a special one to give as a parting gift to floor manager Tim, who was leaving after decades working behind-the-scenes on the hit show.

Holly said: "We've all had ours. There's a spare one there - and that one is going to our floor manager Tim who has been a resident at This Morning for 26 years and today is his last show!

"So Tim well done you and thank you for all your hard work! Good luck for the next phase, wherever you're going. Enjoy!"

As they ended Thursday's show, the camera panned to show Tim enjoying his crumble.
