According to recent reports, Alison Hammond will soon host her very own panel show on Sky.
It is presently unknown whether the well-liked presenter, who is 47 years old and now co-hosts ITV’s This Morning on Fridays, will accept the lucrative new post that has been given to her by the competing broadcaster. However, she has been presented with the opportunity.
‘It remains to be seen if This Morning employers would give her a bigger income and a higher-profile job on the show to guarantee that she stays with them,’ a source said to The Sun.
In the event that this does not occur, it is quite doubtful that the Sky show will be the final enticing offer she receives.
The chance presented itself to Alison as a result of the fact that she had been employed by ITV in the past to front a remake of Wheel of Fortune. However, the project was ultimately cancelled, and other broadcasters are now attempting to entice her away from her current position at ITV.
On the other hand, in the year 2020, it was announced that Alison and Dermot O’Leary would serve as the permanent presenters of the Friday episodes on This Morning.
Alison revealed at the time that she was looking forward to the challenge of hosting the long-running programme, explaining that she ‘genuinely cares about the show and the viewers who watch’.
The TV star – who shot to fame on Big Brother in 2002, before becoming a reporter on This Morning – said: ‘I never dreamt that when I first joined This Morning – initially for a few months – that I would still be there 19 years later.
‘I genuinely care about the show and the viewers who watch, so it’s a huge privilege and honour to be hosting a show I adore so much. I’m just really excited to be doing even more of what I love alongside the lovely Dermot.’
Meanwhile, a spokesman for This Morning previously opened up about the ‘firm friendship’ the pair have developed since appearing together on the show.
‘Despite the challenges of starting their on screen partnership during a pandemic, Alison and Dermot have developed a firm friendship and their chemistry has proved a ratings success,’ the said.
‘Since the pandemic ended, the pair are now able to enjoy socialising together post the show and have enjoyed spending time with each other’s families too.’
This year, Alison – who rose to fame on Channel 4’s Big Brother in 2002 – has appeared on BBC1 shows like The Wheel and I Can See Your Voice.
