This Morning saw Paddy McGuinness host today as he replaced Dermot O’Leary – and some viewers weren’t happy!
It’s Friday which means usually Dermot hosts the show alongside Alison Hammond. However, this Friday, things were different and Dermot was nowhere to be seen!
Opening the show, Alison said: “Hello and a very warm welcome to your Friday’s This Morning.”

She continued, turning to Paddy: “Happy St. David’s Day – Paddy McGuinness! How are you? It’s so good to see you.”
Paddy, 50, replied: “I’m alright. Giving us 20 minutes before we’re taken off air,” as Alison laughed.
Alison said: “No, we’re going to be fine. This was always going to happen wasn’t it?” as she gestured to them both hosting.
Paddy then joked: “I had to put another t-shirt on, the nipples are a bit… they’ve got a mind of their own!”

Where is Dermot O’Leary today?
Alison said: “No but seriously, thank you for coming in. Dermot’s having a little day off today.”
Paddy joked: “Well, I’ve got Dermot O’Leary and Ben Shephard tied up in my dressing room.”
