This Morning fans gasped ‘she looks amazing!’ as Alison Hammond made a ‘triumphant return’ to the show after an extended break.

The ITV presenter, 50, usually hosts the show with Dermot O’Leary, 51, every Friday but has been replaced by Josie Gibson, 40, and Sian Welby, 38, for the last few weeks. 

But on Monday (April 14), Alison made a comeback and donned a striking new look while she was at it too. 

The star styled her hair partly up in a bun and the rest trailed past her shoulders in stunning voluminous curls – marking a change from her usual sleek waves. 

She also happened to tower over co-host Dermot and wore animal print heels, paired with a white blouse and burgundy skirt. 

‘I’m nervous, I feel like I’m out of the flow. It’s good to see you Dermot, I’m wearing heels,’ Alison commented on her return.

The TV personality, 35, shared how her mother’s health journey was the catalyst to take on the CBB challenge. 

She said. ‘She’s so pᴀssionate about talking about cancer and living with life-limiting conditions.

‘This felt like the right time for her to represent those who are going through similar struggles, especially with the challenges many are facing due to cuts to personal independent payments.’
