Dermot O’Leary is set to be replaced on This Morning next week and his co-host Alison Hammond revealed who his replacement is.
The pair have been hosting the daytime show this week as main hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley are now on their summer break.
But today (July 19), Alison confirmed she’ll be back on the show from Monday – but with a different co-host.

Cat said: “That’s all from us for a few weeks. We’ll be back in September.”
Ben added: “You’re going to be in good hands. Thank you for looking after me and Cat for this first term. We’ve loved it haven’t we?”
Cat gushed: “We’ve had the best time ever! Thanks for watching, we’ll see you in September.”
Meanwhile, over on Instagram, Ben shared a gushing message with a montage of photos of himself and Cat on the show.
Ben wrote: “Well that was quite the few months!!! Thanks to everyone who has joined us, thanks to the brilliant @thismorning team for their endless enthusiasm and patience, thanks to the amazing @catdeeley for the hugs, the laughs, and especially the drinks, but mostly thanks to all our amazing viewers for your support, messages, interaction and humour.
