Dermot said: “It’s quite sad that tomorrow is going to be our last show for some time.”
Alison replied: “I know, I know, my last day. I’m going on holiday bubs, it’s time!”
It’s quite sad that tomorrow is going to be our last show for some time.
She added: “Alison needs a break,” to which Dermot said: “Do you know what, Al? We all need a break.”
Turning to viewers, Alison said: “We do, even you need a break from me!”
She then added: “It’s a sad time tomorrow,” as sad music started playing in the studio.
Alison said: “Oh don’t milk it that much… oh go on then, milk it. So yeah, it’s my last day. It’s been amazing.
“Joel [Dommett] at the start of the week, you [Dermot] at the end of the week. And who are you with next week?”
It was revealed that Rochelle Humes will join Dermot on the This Morning sofa from Monday (July 29).
Earlier this week, Alison hosted the daytime show with Joel Dommett.
However, some viewers weren’t impressed with Joel taking over the This Morning reigns. Someone moaned: “Joel Dommett is rubbish! Please tell me he’s not on all week?”
Another wrote: “Switch off – Christ not these two together I’m off.”
However, there was plenty of love for Joel as one person gushed: “Two minutes in and Alison Hammond and Joel Dommett already making me laugh, this is going to be a good show!”
Someone else added: “He is great fun and always entertaining to watch.”
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
