This Morning announces replacements for Alison and Dermot as favourites set for return: ‘A dream team’

Fans are thrilled!

| Updated:

Flagship ITV daytime show This Morning has announced the replacements for Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary next week and fans are ecstatic.

The popular daytime show has had its fair share of switch-ups of presenters this year. First Phillip Schofield left after over 20 years of presenting This Morning. His former co-host Holly Willoughby also waved goodbye to the show months later after replacing Fern Britton 13 years ago.

As the show continues to experiment switching up its ray of presenters, it seems Alison and Dermot have remained regulars. However, they are to be replaced by former Big Brother winners Josie Gibson and Rylan Clark.

From Monday (October 30), they will present every day of next week until Friday (November 3).

“Join @josiegibson85 and @rylan next week on #ThisMorning! Tune in from 10am on ITV1, ITVX and STV,” This Morning announced on Instagram.

With both presenters known to be a favourite among the public, they’re bound to have the nation smiling every morning.
