Alison Hammond hints at permanent This Morning change as she partners with Josie Gibson

Alison Hammond teased about a potential change on This Morning after a shake-up to the presenting line-up today.

The Brummie TV star, 47, typically fronts the ITV daytime show on Fridays with Dermot O'Leary, 48, with fans shocked to see the male host absent today.

Alison looked delighted to be joined by her close pal Josie Gibson, 37 - who stepped in to cover for Alison's usual presenting partner who was said to be having a "well-earned day off."

The pair - who both found fame on Big Brother - were welcomed by viewers of the popular show, who were thrilled to see them presenting This Morning together.

During the episode, they introduced a new game called What the Hack - which saw them given various objects, with them having to figure out how to use them in a 'life hack.'

Alison told viewers: "Matt Edmondson will be putting Josie and I to the test when we play our guessing for the very first time, and probably the last time.

"Well I don't think it'll be the last time," she quickly added, leaving fans hopeful for a reunion in the not too distant future.

The new partnership was commented on by Matt, 36 - known for his presenting work on BBC Radio 1 and ITV2 - who said: "Loving you two together. Brilliant energy, great vibes."

Viewers were also impressed by the dynamic brought to the show by Alison and Josie, with them described them as a "fab combo" and a "perfect match" on social media earlier.

One viewer tweeted about them: "Loving [them] presenting @thismorning today." Another said: "Loving Josie and Alison. Been feeling down but these two definitely cheer me up."
