Dermot O’Leary is set to be replaced on This Morning next week and his co-host Alison Hammond revealed who his replacement is.
The pair have been hosting the daytime show this week as main hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley are now on their summer break.
But today (July 19), Alison confirmed she’ll be back on the show from Monday – but with a different co-host.
