Alison Hammond bringing ‘summer vibes’ to This Morning
This Morning’s Alison Hammond has clapped back at claims that she and Dermot O’Leary have a “strained” relationship via her latest Instagram post.
This week the pair have recently swapped their Friday stints on the ITV daytime show for a full-time gig as Holly Willoughby is on her annual eight-week summer break.
However, reports have claimed that the pair’s relationship has recently been “under strain” and “worrying” executives.
Yesterday, (July 10), Alison shrugged off the rumours by posting a fun video to her Instagram followers which sees her and Dermot, 50, dancing to Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body while on set at This Morning.
The caption read: “Me and my @dermotoleary with you all week bringing the summer vibes on @thismorning – come and join us,” the mum-of-one typed alongside the video posted to her 1.3 million followers.

Dermot himself has also rubbished fallout rumours. He took to social media on Monday and shared a smiley photograph of himself and Alison.
The caption of the pic posted to his with his 795,000 Instagram followers read: “Summer’s here! Looking forward to this week with my @alisonhammond55 – we’re on from 10am!”
The former Big Brother contestant herself has cheekily commented on the picture and thus fully put any rumoured feuding to bed.
She wrote: “Cut the tension with a knife,” followed by a crying laughing emoji.
The witty comment has garnered over 175 likes and has attracted fan support.

One Instagram user sarcastically wrote: “You two absolutely hate each other.”
Another quipped: “To be fair @dermotoleary has everything defensively crossed whilst your hand seems to be creeping towards him whilst you have a cheeky glint in your eye.”
News of the apparent fallout between Dermot and Alison came after an ITV insider allegedly told MailOnline that the presenters got off to a “tricky start”.
“They had very different levels of experience and came from totally different places but they then did start to rub along quite nicely,” they said.
“Recently though things have become strained and it is worrying the bosses, they fear that this couple they put together which they had hoped would carry the show through the tough times it is enduring may have to present apart a bit more.”
However, an ITV source told Express.co.uk: “This is absolute nonsense. There’s no tension between Alison and Dermot, quite the opposite.”
Elsewhere, an ITV spokesperson told Express Online: “Alison, Dermot and Holly are all valued members of the This Morning family and all enjoy working together on the show, as well as having friendships outside of the show.”
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
