Alison Hammond left some This Morning fans gobsmacked with the news of her temporary exit from the show.
The much-loved Brummie, who has become a fan favourite alongside co-host Dermot O’Leary, dropped the bombshell during Thursday’s live broadcast. After taking over from Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, Alison, 49, shared that she’s ready for a well-earned holiday.
The atmosphere was charged with emotion as Dermot introduced the topic, saying with a heavy heart: “It’s quite sad that tomorrow is going to be our last show for some time.” Alison confirmed the comments, exclaiming: “I know, I know, my last day. I’m going on holiday bubs, it’s time.”

She continued: “Alison needs a break”, prompting Dermot to jest: “We all need a break.” Alison playfully responded: “Even YOU need a break from me.”, reports Birmingham Live.
The revelation sparked a flurry of confusion among viewers, with some wondering about the announcement. “Is Alison leaving for good?” one Twitter/X user questioned, while another chipped in: “It’s Alison’s last day on #ThisMorning before she goes on a break!”
Later on in the show, Alison then confirmed she wouldn’t be gone for good, “just for the summer.” Alison first became a household name after her stint on Big Brother in 2002, where she was the second contestant to leave the house.
Since joining This Morning on ITV in the same year, she’s been a staple of the programme. In the past year, she’s expanded her TV repertoire by joining The Great British Bake Off team, and in January 2024, she was announced as the new host of For the Love of Dogs, taking over from the late Paul O’Grady who passed away in March 2023.
