Why isn't This Morning on today?
Hammond and Dermot O’Leary won't be on the famous sofa today.
Following Holly Willoughby’s temporary departure from This Morning, beloved duo Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary have been hosting the ITV1 show this week.
Willoughby left the show suddenly earlier in July to go on her annual two-month summer break, with Hammond and O'Leary, who usually present the show on the final day of the week, taking over the reins from Monday to Friday.
Willoughby has been presenting the show alongside a variety of co-presenters since the start of June, following the exit of Phillip Schofield.
Schofield had hosted the programme since 2022, but quit with immediate effect in May. He later announced he was stepping down from ITV after admitting lying to his employers at the broadcaster about an affair he had with a former This Morning employee.
However, while Hammond and O'Learly are set to cover for Willoughby for the rest of the summer, the pair won’t be on the famous sofa today (Thursday, 20th July).
That's because the show has been removed from ITV1's Thursday schedule. Read on for everything you need to know.
