Alison Hammond says she can't go live on ITV This Morning without Dermot O'Leary doing one thing

Alison Hammond has revealed how she 'can't go' live on This Morning without co-host Dermot O'Leary doing one thing before the cameras start rolling. Viewers are used to seeing the pair hosting the ITV daytime show on a Friday after taking on the main hosting gig at the start of 2021.

Alison, 48, and Dermot, 49, replaced Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes in the role as they joining the show's main hosting duo Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. However, former Big Brother star Alison had already spent the best part of 20 years on the programme, often being sent out to play games with members of the public and interviewing some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

But former X Factor host Dermot was brought in after guest stints on the show to create the new This Morning duo alongside Holly and Phillip, who continue to host the show from Monday through to Thursday, except during the summer and Christmas breaks.
