ITV This Morning viewers observed changes at the eleventh hour.
The host Alison Hammond revealed she had been forced to delay her holiday while co-host Josie Gibson took a tumble during a chaotic episode of the ITV show on Friday.
The new GBBO presenter, 48, said she had changed her flight and would jet off a day late after stepping in to host at the last minute to cover for Holly Willoughby who is living it up on a family getaway in Portugal.
Josie, 38, started the show by praising her pal and gushed: ‘Can I say thank you to you Alison because you are not supposed to be here today’.
Alison replied: ‘I am supposed to be on holidays, I cancelled it for you and for the viewers, but for you really’.
With an overwhelmed Josie asking: ‘You cancelled just for me?’.
The duo have been holding down the fort alongside Craig Doyle and Dermot O’Leary during Holly’s two month break – without saying goodbye to viewers.
When she returns from her long holiday in September, This Morning will be centred around the presenter, after ITV bosses decided not to make a big money hiring to replace Phillip Schofield.
