The dynamic duo will share hosting duties on the popular ITV daytime talk show with Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, Eamonn Holmes, and Ruth Langsford from January 2021, show bosses have confirmed.

Alison, 45, and Dermot, 47, will host This Morning every Friday from January 8, whilst Eamonn and Ruth – who used to host the Friday show – will take over during the key school holidays.

Speaking of her new hosting duties, Alison said:

‘I never dreamt that when I first joined This Morning – initially for a few months – that I would still be there 19 years later. I genuinely care about the show and the viewers who watch, so it’s a huge privilege and honour to be hosting a show I adore so much. I’m just really excited to be doing even more of what I love alongside the lovely Dermot’.

Whilst Dermot added:

‘I’m deeply thrilled and honoured to be joining the This Morning team next year. We have huge shoes to fill and we are well aware what a privilege it is to be stepping into them.

‘Above all, we want to have fun and for you to be able to kick your weekend off with a smile, especially given the year we’ve all had. So I’m delighted to be co-hosting with the living embodiment of sunshine on a rainy day. I can’t wait to get started’.

The confirmation comes after it was recently rumoured the pair would be set for a permanent role, after they guest hosted a few episodes earlier this year.

Meanwhile, it was also recently reported that Eamonn was left “furious” with the decision to axe him from his regular This Morning slot.

A source said:

‘Eamonn is pretty furious and everyone feels for him and Ruth, they are well liked on the team, but sometimes tough decisions have to be made’.
