ALISON TO REPLACE CAT?
WOMAN'S OWN

It seems there's trouble at This Morning as Cat Deeley is said to feel 'overlooked' by bosses
-

It's been a rocky two years for This Morning. Following the exits of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby last year, bosses scrambled to find the perfect replacements to save the show.

Now, a source tells Woman’s Own that bosses are ‘heaping praise’ on Alison Hammond, 49, which could be causing tension between Alison and Cat backstage. ‘There’s been a feeling of division simmering at This Morning for quite some time now,’ they tell us. So, are bosses hoping to replace Cat with Alison, if she decides to walk?
