Angela Scanlon hosts ITV’s daytime programme This Morning on Friday after Alison Hammond does not appear on the live show, according to reports from multiple outlets. Viewers notice Hammond is absent from the ITV sofa, and Scanlon steps in as the presenter for the broadcast. The articles describe Hammond’s absence as noticeable and confirm that Scanlon replaces her during the show. No additional circumstances for Hammond’s missing appearance are provided in the available summaries. The coverage focuses on the on-air presenter change for that specific episode, with Scanlon taking over hosting duties in Hammond’s place. The reports therefore align on one point: Scanlon appears as the substitute host while Hammond is absent from the live broadcast.
