Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary fronted This Morning as usual on ITV on Friday (July 21). However, at the end of the show they were forced to deliver news of more upheaval at the channel.
The news comes following a huge presenter switch-up following the departure of Phillip Schofield. And it comes after the Women’s World Cup forced the show off air on Thursday.
After a fun-filled show, Alison and Dermot crossed to Loose Women to see what was coming up on their show. When Nadia Sawalha handed back, the This Morning presenters took the opportunity to share their news.
This Morning hosts share fresh ITV shake-up
Alison and Dermot revealed that This Morning won’t be on air on Monday (July 24). Not only that, but Tuesday’s show will also be hit by scheduling changes.
“We are back on Tuesday morning as the Women’s World Cup is on ITV on Monday,” Alison said.
“Yes,” Dermot chimed in. He added: “So we’ll see you then.”
The pair then explained that Dr Scott and Lisa Snowdon would be on Tuesday’s show.
Signing off, Dermot shared news of a further scheduling shake-up. “So we’ll see you Tuesday at the slightly later time of 11.15. Take care, have a great weekend.”
“See you Tuesday, bye!” Alison added.
Viewers react
Fans of the show were less than impressed that the footie would be replacing This Morning again. One fumed: “Why can’t they put the bloody football on ITV2?!”
Another seemed confused at the change: “A&D have just said they are on on Tuesday. Don’t know about Monday?” “Football on on Monday,” came one reply. “I’m honestly not interested in any footy with either men or women,” said another who’ll clearly be missing their This Morning fix.
Germany vs Morocco replaces This Morning on Monday, with Tuesday’s show delayed by coverage of Switzerland vs Norway. Wednesday’s show is due to air as normal.
