This Morning has confirmed Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary's future amid claims of a 'strained' relationship between the pair behind the scenes. The show's usual Friday hosts were thrust in front of the camera after the Phillip Schofield scandal broke back in May.
The ITV daytime programme's former star quit the show after more than 20 years on the famous sofa, claiming the show had 'become the story' due to reports he and Holly Willoughby were 'barely speaking' behind the scenes. But less than a week later and Phillip, 61, confirmed he'd quit ITV altogether while admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger ITV colleague.
While Holly took an additional week's break from the show following the news, Alison, 48, and Dermot, 50, stepped in. And Alison was later seen breaking down in tears when she commented for the first time on what had happened after her former co-star gave his first TV interview at the start of June.
