Dermot O'Leary made sure to show love to his co-host Alison Hammond as they were reunited on-screen for their usual stint at the helm of This Morning. The pair have been hosts of the Friday edition of the ITV daytime show since the start of 2021 when they were chosen to take over from Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langford.
But this week, viewers have got used to seeing Dermot alongside Holly Willoughby. The TV and radio presenter was previously drafted in to cover for Holly alongside Alison last month after it was revealed that Phillip Schofield had quit the popular daytime show after more than 20 years amid rumours of a 'feud' with his former co-host.
However, he later stepped back from ITV altogether after admitting to lying to Holly and his employers about a relationship with a much younger ITV colleague. Following her two-week break amid the fallout from Phillip's admission, Holly, 42, addressed the scandal head on in a statement read out live on air as she was supported by fellow This Morning star Josie Gibson.
