Alison Hammond has been handed a prestigious TV Award as she prepares to take over from This Morning’s Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes.
The 45-year-old star has been named the TV and Radio presenter of the year in Heat Magazine's Unmissable Awards.
The bubbly television personality, who is known for her infectious personality and cheerful presenting skills, is over the moon with the title.
Alison, who beat her This Morning co-host Dermot O'Leary and Ant and Dec to the top spot, told the publication that the award "means a lot" to her.
The much-loved star gushed over her gong when she said: "Oh my goodness!
"Thank you so much. This means a lot to me. I know exactly where it’s going to go – in my downstairs toilet where all my hundreds of awards are," she joked.
Before adding: "This is actually my first one, so thank you so much."
Alison is set for a career milestone as she’s about to take over Ruth and Eamonn's Friday slot on This Morning alongside Dermot.
Despite this, not everyone is happy about the shock ITV shake-up.
Some This Morning viewers have threatened to boycott the programme in 2021 after ITV bosses confirmed much-loved duo Ruth and Eamonn would be replaced.
Confirmation of the news sparked an uproar from angry fans, who have threatened to boycott the show in protest.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Won't watch on Friday if Ruth & Eamonn aren't there."
Another raged: "Don’t push Eamonn and Ruth out is all I ask as I shan’t be watching if you do. They are real!"
Alison and Dermot will host This Morning on Fridays from 8th January 2021.
