Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford are being dropped from their weekly slot on This Morning after 14 years, to be replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary.

The husband and wife duo, who have presented the Friday show together since 2006, are said to be “furious and upset” over the move.


But in a shake-up of presenters, the couple will instead be given the job of hosting the main programme for six weeks in the summer holidays, when main hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby take a break.

Mum-of-one Hammond, 45, has been part of the This Morning “family” for years as a roving reporter and is a firm favourite with fans.

Queen Alison getting the role

[Shaun]

can't understand why they ever had the job in the first place; dull as dishwater

[Denver]

Im surprised but very happy about how Alison has become an icon over the last year after playing a bit part previously

[Liam-]

Sad for Ruth, but Eamonn is a bastard so ha

[DouglasS]

I like Alison but I feel her having a huge part will lower her popularity as she will be very PC in the debates and probably over opinionated in debates. Her role has always been fun and making people laugh, now it’s more serious I actually think it will harm her

[Kate!]

Yeah I'm not a fan of Eamonn. He subtly puts Ruth down a lot. Like Richard Madeley with Judy. Argh. Odious man.

[arista]

They make Docu's
for Ch5HD.


And Ruth has a Job on Loose Women.

[joeysteele]

Only time I watch it if there's nothing else on, is when Eamonn and Ruth do it.

I can't bear Phil and Holly.
I'm not too keen on Alison either.
Sorry like.

[smudgie]

Never watch it these days.
Can’t say I am fussed on either of them.

[Oliver_W]

Gonna be crap now...

[Cherie]

Haven't watched it in years, how this show is still airing is a mystery to me

[Amy Jade]

I barely get a chance to watch but Alison and Desmond will be great. It's a shame they didn't get rid of smug Scoffield and meh willoughby

[UserSince2005]

How dare they

[parmnion]

I hope ruth needs to do babestaion soon.

[parmnion]

I hope ruth needs to do babestaiton soon.

[Saph]

or have ruth and holly host together!

[Black Dagger]

Thank **** I dont have to endure Eamonn gaslighting his wife anymore.
