Alison will then host her usual Friday show alongside Dermot O’Leary.

A source close to the show told the publication: “To ITV bosses, Holly and Alison are the dream team and it also what Holly wanted and that is very important to those high up because they don’t want to lose her.

“They have this natural chemistry, they are friends and it something that the bosses hope the viewers will enjoy.

“Holly would love for them to be a permanent pairing but these days Alison is in such demand across the whole television industry these days that it is impossible for her to commit to the show full time but Holly will do her very best to make sure they are together as much as possible.”

Daily Star has reached out to representatives for Holly and This Morning for a comment.
