This Morning star Alison Hammond taking huge break from show: 'It's my last day'

ok.co.uk:

This Morning host Alison Hammond told viewers yesterday (Friday 22 July) that she is planning to take a long break from her spot on the couch over the summer.

The popular presenter, 47, has been a regular Friday presenter on the ITV show with co-host Dermot O’Leary for some time, but is planning to take a long seven weeks off this summer.

Many This Morning presenters take time off over the summer but she is taking a longer than usual break – not planning to return to the couch until September.

Alison - who recently poked fun at Dermot O'Leary after he called her a 'b***h' live on air - shared her plans with viewers in Friday’s show as she said: “Hello there, we are going live at 10am today. "It's my last day before my holidays – I'm off for seven weeks. "I'm going to miss you guys but yeah it's our last show, come and join us, it's Friday.” The popular hosts have been filling in all week for their fellow presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield who had the week off.
