This Morning viewers have called for Alison Hammond to be one of the main full time presenters after she confirmed Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's return to the show. It comes as Phillip and Holly haven't actually set foot in the This Morning studio since the start of December, with both the December 25 episode, and the shows that aired between Christmas and New Year, all pre-recorded.
The ITV programme's main presenters have been on a lengthy break as they do every festive season and over summer and Easter, reports Chronicle Live. This meant that Alison has been given more opportunities to take the reins, rather than her and Dermot O'Leary just hosting on Fridays.
In Phillip and Holly's absence, the pair were the first 'replacement' hosts to make the step up to main presenters, with Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle and Andi Peters also coming in to front This Morning in recent weeks. After Dermot hosted with Josie on Thursday, it was Alison by his side a day later, with the duo hosting an action packed show, which included a section on how to bag some New Year bargains, more discussion on Prince Harry's latest revelations and an interview with new Love Island host Maya Jama.
