Eamonn Holmes REPLACED on This Morning at last minute by THIS presenter – but the reaction is mixed
This Morning viewers were in for a surprise on Friday’s show when it was revealed that Eamonn Holmes had been REPLACED at the last minute.
ITV had to act quickly to get someone in to host the show alongside Ruth Langsford after Eamonn, 58, fell ill and it was Alison Hammond who ended up stepping into his shoes, a move that received a mixed reaction from fans of the programme.
Eamonn’s wife Ruth, 57, explained the situation at the beginning of the show by telling viewers how her hubby had woken up poorly just as their son Jack continues to battle a bug too.
“They’re dropping like flies in my house,” she told the camera. “Jack was off all week with the lergy, and this morning Eamonn woke up with no voice. Literally can’t speak. He was having to write me notes, so he’s off sick today.
“We’ve phoned a few people, but it was very short notice, so…”
At that point Alison, 42, started to shout across the studio before making her entrance with two suitcases in tow.
