Right at the end of last Friday's show, which Alison hosted with Dermot O'Leary, she announced that she'd be 'back on Monday,' fuelling speculation just who out of Phillip and Holly Willoughby she'd be replacing and then over the weekend it was revealed that it would indeed be Phillip she'd be deputising for, as ITV viewers were quick to react to the news.
Alison fronted This Morning alongside Phillip's usual presenting partner in crime Holly on Monday and Tuesday, with the new Great British Bake Off host starting the live episode by saying: "It's so good to be here, it's lovely. It's nice actually, start of the week and you are here," to which Holly replied: "It's lovely having you here."
And now the Masked Singer star Joel will be taking the reins for the rest of the week.
When it comes to fan reception, Joel will have to go some way to beat his popular predecessor. Alison getting the 'promotion' many This Morning fans have been calling out for for a while become a big talking point online, with one viewer taking to Twitter to post: "I sincerely hope Alison takes over the show and replace both him and holly."
