Alison Hammond 'runs show' as ITV This Morning fans giggle at her 'fangirling' over Bridgerton star

This Morning viewers were quick to determine that Alison Hammond 'runs the show' as she got up close and personal with Bridgerton's leading star. The presenter and her co-host Dermot O'Leary were back at the helm of ITV daytime show on Friday (April 1) when they also revealed that they'll be hosting the show during next week's Easter break as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield take their usual spring break.
