Holly Willoughby emotional as This Morning prepares to air from Buckingham Palace

This Morning viewers weren't at all surprised when Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary had to quickly apologise for John Lydon's language. The Sex Pistols singer appeared live on the ITV daytime show on Monday (May 30).

Alison Hammond is now one of Britain’s most beloved presenters, however, there was a time the former reality TV star felt “not good enough” to host This Morning. It comes after Alison and her co-host Dermot O'Leary replaced Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on Friday mornings last year.The 47-year-old appeared in the third series of Big Brother back in 2002 before going on to host regular segments of This Morning in 2003.The star has spoken about how the role was first offered to her in a revealing interview with co-star Holly Willoughby on her new podcast By The Light Of The Moon.Speaking on how she first became associated with This Morning, Alison said: “This Morning rang and said, ‘Would you like to do a strand?’ And I was like, ‘I might do’ obviously I was like desperate.“I was like, ‘What are you offering?’.They said, ‘We’ve got this strand, it’s really good, it’s only until December, would you like to do it?’ I said, ‘Yeah I'm totally up for that’.“Then that three-month contract has been 20 years,” Alison added.Holly replied in disbelief: “Has it really been that long? 20 years?”The This Morning host confirmed: “Yep 20 years now.”Holly continued: “So that’s 20 years and then you have been doing Fridays with Dermot (O’Leary) now for a year.”The mum-of-one shared: “We had our anniversary the other day! I can't believe it’s gone so quick.”Holly queried: “When you first started if you had known then that you were going to get the sofa job at some point, would you have believed it?”Alison answered: “Absolutely not, I don’t think that was even in my head. I probably never dreamt that big.“I’ve never dreamt that big before.That wasn’t even on my radar.“Even when they came to me with that job.

Holly Willoughby has been teasing her latest venture after sharing a spooky video on her lifestyle page. The 41-year-old launched Wylde Moon last year after being inspired by sound baths during her time in Australia in 2018 when she stepped in for Ant McPartlin to host hit reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! alongside Dec Donnelly.
