ITV This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary to be replaced

There has been some upheaval on ITV's This Morning show over the past couple of weeks. In the latest re-shuffle, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary are set to be replaced in just a matter of days.

This week, Alison, 48, and Dermot, 49, who usually host the Friday edition of the show, stepped into presenting slots for regulars Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, who were starting their Easter break. At the time, it was understood that Alison and Dermot would stay at the helm for the next two weeks. However, according to a report in Manchester Evening News, that isn't the case and the pair will be replaced from Easter Monday, April 10.

Following the shake-up, Craig Doyle has confirmed that he'll be fronting the show next week alongside Josie Gibson. He confirmed the news in a post on his Instagram Story on Wednesday, April 5, by sharing a selfie of himself and Josie in the ITV studio. The 52-year-old Irish TV presenter wrote: "Reunited on the This Morning sofa all next week." Former Big Brother winner Josie then re-shared the post to her own followers and said: "See you soon Doyleroo."

It isn't the first time Craig and Josie have filled in on the show. They hosted the show over the summer holidays in August and back in December, fans hailed another of the duo's appearances on the programme saying: "Yay! Josie and Craig. Santa does exist after all". Another fan wrote: "Josie and Craig, the best presenting partnership we could have on here", with a third adding: "Josie and Craig, my favourites".

On Tuesday, Nottinghamshire Live reported that it has been confirmed that Phillip Schofield would be back on the show, alongside Holly Willoughby, from Monday, April 17. Schofield last appeared on the show on Thursday, March 23.
