It’s not the first time Alison has missed her stint on This Morning in recent weeks. 

On April 4 The Big Brother star was missing from This Morning for a third week running – just days after viewers demanded she was replaced on For The Love Of Dogs. 

Alison was replaced by regular contributor Josie Gibson, 40, on that occasion. 

A week prior the programme underwent the same presenter shake-up as Alison was replaced and Dermot was again joined by the familiar face instead.

It comes after This Morning fans blasted a ‘creepy’ new presenter after their disastrous debut on Tuesday.

Cat and Ben sat down with Jake Moore, a cyber-security expert on the latest instalment of the daytime show.

At one point, the trio were joined by a new face, Julia, who wasn’t like any usual TV presenter. 

Julia was an AI presenter, created by Jake using ‘straightforward and simple’ software, Ben explained.

Before she was due to appear on the show, Julia crashed and had to be rebooted. 

Julia gave a comprehensive response and said: ‘AI or artificial intelligence refers to the similarity of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think and learn like people.’

She described how it ‘encompᴀsses various technology’ and is a ‘fascinating field with endless possibilities’.

Cat then asked: ‘Julia, we haven’t told you what to say, have we?’

The AI replied: ‘No you haven’t, I’m here to provide information and ᴀssistance bases on your queries.’

This Morning airs from 10am weekdays on ITV and is available to stream on ITVX.
