This Morning presenting shake-up revealed as ITV star replaces Dermot O’Leary
THIS Morning will undergo a presenting shake-up next week.
Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond were announced as the show’s summer hosting duo.
However, Dermot will be replaced by Joel Dommett on Monday and Tuesday next week.
The Masked Singer host impressed during a brief stint on the show last summer.
He even reckoned he would have been the perfect replacement for Phillip Schofield — because he knows how to “not be an a***hole”.
Schofield quit the ITV daytime show in May after admitting to an affair with a younger aide.
He was eventually replaced by Good Morning Britain‘s Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.
Joel is now making a return to host the ITV daytime show alongside Alison Hammond.
“I’m going to miss you,” Alison told Dermot in a backstage video after their last show together.
He replied: “It’s only for two days, Monday and Tuesday.”
Alison continued: “OK, only two days and I’ve got Joel Dommett which will be brilliant.”
Confirming the news, Joel wrote on Instagram: “I’m gonna be jumping in and hosting This Morning on Monday and Tuesday with the beaut Alison Hammond. Woooo!”
