Alison Hammond ‘heartbroken’ over Holly Willoughby row as ex This Morning co-star claims she ‘doesn’t like her’
ALISON Hammond is said to be “heartbroken” after Eamonn Holmes claimed she’s being “used” by This Morning’s Holly Willoughby.
Ex-host Eamonn made the allegations against Holly during an explosive interview about the “toxicity” at the ITV daytime show.
He told GB News: “This nonsense about Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond as her best friend and [Holly] was at Alison’s birthday party.
“Alison Hammond goes to Holly Willoughby’s select nights out with her friends.
“This wouldn’t have happened two years ago. Are you kidding? Alison Hammond has been on the programme 13 years and I’m sure there was very little contact between her and the presenters.
“People just use other people and it’s disgusting.”
Heat magazine claims Holly wants to smooth things over with Alison after Eamonn’s comments hit a nerve.
“The last thing Holly wants is to fall out with Alison over this,” a source told the magazine.
“Alison was really upset by her name getting mentioned in his interview.
“She’s heartbroken that Eamonn would drag her into this. She’s always got on with Holly.”
This week Holly is presenting alongside Alison’s Friday co-host Dermot O’Leary.
Last week after returning to This Morning for the firs time since Phillip Schofield’s exit, Holly told Josie Gibson that she was meeting Alison, saying: “She’s at mine tonight.”
Alison has long been thought to be the frontrunner to host This Morning full-time – with one source claiming she was also Holly’s preffered choice.
