Alison Hammond predicted to quit This Morning before end of the year
On April 8, Alison shared to social media that she has landed a new role. Alison’s new show will see her spend 48 hours with a celebrity and the BBC has said the new six-part series will bring “big laughs, big revelations and a whole load of celebrity realness”.
It’ll air in 2025. And it sounds like Alison will be spending a lot of time filming – especially as her weekends will be occupied as she spends time with the star-studded cast.
A spokesperson for Crypto Casino LTD exclusively told ED! just how likely it is that Alison will ditch This Morning once her weekender gig comes around.
The bookmakers predicted that Alison is likely to announce her plans leave This Morning before the year is out. In fact, odds on her not appearing on the show in 2025 are currently at 5/4, the betting spokesperson told us.
‘No secret is safe’
Alison is taking her popularity in her stride, though, and is overjoyed about her new role: “I’m so excited to serve up some big lols and tons of OMG revelations on the BBC as I spend some quality time with some of the UK’s favourite celebrities.
No stone or cupboard will go unturned!
“When I’m on a mission no secret is safe, and trust me no stone or cupboard will go unturned!”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: “Alison is one of the most warm-hearted presenters in the UK and it’s no surprise that big name celebrities are lining up to have her spend the weekend at their homes. It’s going to be a blast!”
