This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary celebrate one year anniversary

This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary shared a small celebration with viewers on today's show.

The presenting pair were marking a special occasion as they hit one whole year of presenting together on the popular ITV show.

They are currently filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield while they continue to enjoy their Christmas breaks.

Alison started the show as she said: "Yesterday was great for me."

Referring to yesterday's technical difficulties, Dermot said: "We will get to yesterday in a second, we need to live in the present."

He continued: "Allow me this brief moment... did you know that today is our one year anniversary?" as he went to retrieve a celebration cake and proceeded to light the candles.

Alison exclaimed: "No! It's not! Are you serious?" and Dermot answered: "Yes! It's been a year since you and I have served our probation. We have a little anniversary celebration."

A pop went off in the background as Alison asked: "What's that?" and Dermot answered: "It's a delayed confetti cannon."

Alison exclaimed: "Oh isn't this lovely!"

But then Dermot ruined the moment slightly as he said: "Considering we used to hate each other isn't it great now?" as the pair erupted into laughter.

Alison cleared it up as she said: "We never hated each other" and Dermot added: "We've always loved each other. But I just want to pin your face right in there.

"I love working with you."

They high fived and collectively blew out the candle as Alison said: "I just wished for another 10 years."

Mischievously, Dermot replied: "I just wished for another year!" as they burst out laughing again.

Fans were delighted to see the mini celebration and shared their thoughts on Twitter.

Leanne said: "Wow it’s actually been a year #ThisMorning."

Chantal said: "#ThisMorning Bloody hell a year already"

Nick said: "Wow 1 year already of Alison and Dermot presenting #ThisMorning it’s gone by so quick. I’m so happy for them."

Charlie said: "I can’t believe @AlisonHammond and @radioleary have been on @thismorning #ThisMorning for a year! Happy Anniversary!"
