This Morning's Alison and Dermot's 'last show' announcement sends fans into a frenzy

This Morning's Alison Hammond and Demot O'Leary have hosted their last show of the year.

The popular presenters have fronted Friday's editions of ITV's flagship daytime programme since taking over from Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford in January.

However, on today's show they waved goodbye to viewers until 2022.

The hosts got into the festive spirit as they exchanged presents on the final episode of This Morning before the Christmas Day special.

Fans were left in hysterics as Alison handed Dermot a stocking packed with a mug, apron and boxer shorts which all had her face printed on them.

Dermot aimed a cheeky jibe at Alison with his gift as he rolled a sparkly trolley filled with Alison's favourite drink, Bailey's.

He joked: "I’ve got you something that you might not think you need, but you absolutely do… I’ve noticed one thing this year working with you, and you do love the items we have on the show, and some of the things happen to go home with you…

“I know your bag is a tardis, but even your bag is getting full, so….”

It was a Christmas themed episode as they also interviewed Fred Sirieix about being on the Strictly Christmas Special and Gary Barlow about putting together his first Christmas album

Alison had confirmed it was her last This Morning show of the year in an announcement issued on Instagram earlier today.

The 46-year-old presenter shared a hilarious montage of her and Dermot having fun behind-the-scenes before today's episode.

She captioned the post: "Last show of the year and oh what a show ! Features @officialgarybarlow @annemarie @fred_sirieix @josiegibson85 @chefphilvickery @knackeredmother @georgiatoffolo @gylesbrandreth @drscottym and me @dermotoleary . Look forward to your company oh I nearly forgot Father Christmas will be here too"

Fans erupted in hysterics at the footage and flooded the comments to wish Alison a Merry Christmas.

Launa said: "What a fantastic pair to end the last show of the year"

Christine added: "You look amazing Alison have a wonderful Christmas and New year"

@CalmCandlesLondon posted : "We love you guys, have a awesome show! Merry Christmas!"

Mary posted: "You two have me in stitches this morning! Happy Christmas to you both."

This Morning returns on Christmas Day at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub
