Alison on This Morning

Anyone else love this woman?

Why why did they take her off- seeing her standing in for Phillip this morning is a reminder how amazing she is.

She cracks the best jokes and can also do sensitive too.

She's a million times better than the other woman (don't even know her name) and should have had the job permanent after Holly went.

She could run the show alone!

Rochelle seems like a really nice person but I am not keen on her as a presenter, I don't think she comes across very natural. I watch her and Marvin on the Hitlist and it's the same there, I just don't think presenting is her bag.

Some people start off a bit wooden and improve with practice but she's been doing it for ages now and isn't really getting better.

Anyone else think that Holly and Phil have fallen out? I think they look awkward On DOI

Marcipex · 01/02/2022 16:02

@Glitterygreen I agree, she hasn’t got any better. Both silly and wooden.

Sparklingbrook · 01/02/2022 16:15

I don’t think Rochelle is a very good presenter. I hope Holly has gone for good but I believe she’s off filming something abroad and jets back in from DOI.
I really like Alison. But as I say on all the TM threads that programme needs a major overhaul.

MrsBerthaRochester · 01/02/2022 16:26

I like Alison, I dont think she does bullshit. I think she winds Dermot up on a friday, you can see him giving her the side eye sometimes.
Cant stand Phil and Holly now. Far to smug and dont like Holly trying to flog her unatainable lifestyle to her followers.

Alison has got better since she started but it's all about her all the time isn't it.
Can't do with Holly, she's so smug haven't missed her at all.
Josie was brilliant they should use her more.

I completely agree with you except for Josie. Josie really irritates me. Alison is completely self absorbed. It drives me mad she doesn't even pronounce Dermots name correctly. Dermot asks her things about herself but she is never bothered to ask him anything. It's all about Alison. Her laugh is too much as well. It used to be natural but now I think she puts it on too much. Comes across as fake to me. That's my rant done.

Fatarseflanagan09 · 01/02/2022 16:43

I don't like Alison Hammond, her loud laughing all the time seems fake,
Phil and Holly are always gurning at each other and seem to be sharing a private joke that nobody else can be in on and they act silly as though they should be on children's television, all that simpering and giggling gets on my wick, I like Vanessa Feltz though.

awaynboilyurheid · 01/02/2022 18:05

Sorry not keen on Alison either, her laughing and manner always seems very fake and forced. I dont get the how funny is Alison , she's not.
Josie is very fake too with that silly me, look how daft I can be, persona.You can see its totally put on and not at all funny, saying that I dont watch it much so probalbly wrong demographic.

Marcipex · 01/02/2022 22:25

I love Vanessa. And Rylan and Dr Zoe.

And Gok is brilliant. I’d like him to present with Vanessa.

augustusglupe · 02/02/2022 01:26

I don't know. I stopped watching when Fern left. Before that I'd watched since the beginning, 1988, I was on maternity leave. They'll never replace Richard and Judy!

Bellagio40 · 02/02/2022 01:31

I don’t like Alison either. Too shallow and I can’t stand her laugh.

Sparklingbrook · 02/02/2022 10:00

Ooh Vernon today. I think I might watch. Grin

Theblacksheepandme · 02/02/2022 10:11

I like Vernon.

FrugalFrancine · 02/02/2022 10:14

I love Alison too. I think she looks great atm as well, not that it matters.

Sparklingbrook · 02/02/2022 10:21

I like Vernon too, he seems a safe pair of hands on live TV. I feel that way about PS though TBF. I feel should something go wrong both of them would cope admirably, some of the other presenters not so much.

Theblacksheepandme · 02/02/2022 10:54

I don't like Phil or Holly. I agree with Fatarseflanagan09 - Phil and Holly are always gurning at each other and seem to be sharing a private joke that nobody else can be in on and they act silly as though they should be on children's television, all that simpering and giggling gets on my wick.

I also like Vanessa Feltz. Rochelle is not a good presenter. Dermot has grown on me but I don't know if I'd like to see him every day.

TheVolturi · 02/02/2022 11:36

I do really like Alison. Got to say though, I have always had a strong dislike for Holly and Phil. But since Holly hasn't been there, I have found Phillip to be OK! I wonder if they clash and that's why he comes across as very arrogant when he's with Holly?

Marcipex · 02/02/2022 15:06

Vernon is great.

TheVolturi · 02/02/2022 15:49

I used to like Vernon until I heard about him messaging that glamour model 🙄

Sparklingbrook · 02/02/2022 18:26

That was in 2010 are we still supposed to have a grudge?

Pahahahahahahahee · 02/02/2022 20:03

I cannot watch Rochelle, I'm sure she's lovely in RL but her presenting is wooden and forced. She is constantly giggling at what she says as she's saying it too grrr
Josie was fabulous though IMO

DolphinDave · 02/02/2022 20:08

I find her unbearable. I switch off immediately if she's on.

Theblacksheepandme · 02/02/2022 20:20

Totally agree, I think considering his marriage has lasted 12 years since, we can forgive him.

TheVolturi · 02/02/2022 20:33

@Sparklingbrook

Was that to me? Christ. I was just saying I went off him after that. Not asking anyone else to dislike him!
sweatervest · 02/02/2022 20:59

i love alison and vernon.
rochelle (roch, as they call her) doesn't seem to have many presenting chops (if that's the right word).

i loved it when someone thought that alison was rusty lee. or was that on celebs go dating.
i just wish dermot would stop heckling. and sit up straight. and look as though he actually wants to be there. tsk.
i love the gadget man. misses point of thread
