The duo are taking over from husband and wife Eamonn and Ruth after ITV decided to shake-up the presenting line-up last year.

Alison said in a statement last year: “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.”

Dermot added: “We have huge shoes to fill and we are well aware what a privilege it is to be stepping into them.”

Meanwhile, today’s show was full of laughs but Alison baffled viewers when she got Dermot’s name wrong!

During the show’s Spin to Win segment, Alison and Dermot spoke with a caller who was hoping to win some cash.
