Alison Hammond‘s future on This Morning has been revealed after the host was tipped to replace Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daley on Strictly Come Dancing.

It has been confirmed that Alison, 50, has renewed her contract for This Morning after becoming a permanent feature of the show back in 2021.

The presenter has been linked with the upcoming hosting slots on Strictly Come Dancing, so ITV have moved to lock her down to starring on their flagship daytime programme throughout 2026 and she is ‘very happy’ there.

A source told The Sun: ‘Alison is a huge talent and no one was surprised she’s being looked at for Strictly. But she’s very happy at This Morning so, as far as anyone knows, has no intention to quit to take on the dance show – but there may need to be some juggling of the schedule.’

Alison is said to be one of 10 stars set to screen test next month to replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on Strictly, with Bradley Walsh, Alex Jones and Alan Carr the frontrunners.

But they will face competition for the gig from Rylan Clark, Rob Rinder, Zoe Ball, Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden and Angela Scanlon.

A source said: ‘Ultimately, no one is bigger than the show so whichever lucky pair land the jobs will be the ones who the BBC think will be the perfect accompaniment to the series.’

Meanwhile, Great British Bake Off host Alison recently hit back at suggestions that she is on TV too often.

Asked if she is concerned about overexposure, Alison told The Guardian: ‘No. If I need to rest up or a job doesn’t appeal, I won’t do it. I’m good at saying no. I turn down 10 things per day, no exaggeration.

‘It looks like I’m on TV a lot, sure, but I stand out partly because it’s still not the norm to see a Black woman doing this. I don’t want to bring race into it but no one says that about Davina (McCall) or Ant and Dec.

‘I’ve worked hard for 22 years to get here. That woman on TikTok is allowed her opinion. It keeps me grounded.

‘I’m not a national treasure. I’m just me, doing a job that I adore to the best of my ability, trying to be better than I was yesterday.’

Alison – who found fame after appearing on Big Brother back in 2002 – finds it easy to relate to the contestants on GBBO given her own background in reality TV.

The For the Love of Dogs host said: ‘I was a contestant on Big Brother, in the jungle (on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!), even on Celebrity Bake Off.

‘I know what they’re going through.

‘There’s one baker who can’t even make caramel but they learn on the job and do brilliantly. I love watching them progress.

‘They go into the tent as one person and come out as another. You can’t help being emotionally involved.

‘What often moves me is hearing about who they’ve left behind to take part. Some have kids.

‘They’re not seeing their babies because they’re working so hard at this.

‘You’re willing them to do well. When they leave, you find a lump in your throat.’
