Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were confirmed as This Morning's presenters on Monday last week as Holly Willoughby takes a break over the school holidays and the pair paid tribute to Phillip Schofield following his exit.
Phillip was axed from This Morning over the weekend as ITV released a statement confirming he would be stepping down from presenting the flagship show, which he has co-hosted with Holly Willoughby for over 13 years.
Despite his long tenure on the show, Alison and Dermot began the show on Monday with just a brief mention of Phillip's exit.
