Alison Hammond steals the spotlight duetting with Jason Donovan on This Morning

In a recent episode of the ITV morning show, 'This Morning,' Alison Hammond showcased her singing abilities by performing a duet with Australian singer Jason Donovan. The episode, which aired just a few days ago, highlighted Alison's long-standing desire to sing with Jason, stemming from her admiration for his work. Fans reacted positively on social media, with many expressing their delight at seeing Alison live out her dream. However, there were mixed feelings among viewers, as some expressed confusion or a lack of appreciation for the unexpected performance. At the end of the show, Alison shared with the audience that she would be taking a break from her hosting role to participate in a pantomime performance during the Christmas season. She will reprise her role as the Magical Mermaid in 'Peter Pan' at the Birmingham Hippodrome, an experience she deeply enjoyed the previous year while performing in 'Jack and the Beanstalk.' As she announced her break, Alison stated her excitement about returning to the stage, which she feels resonates well with Birmingham's enthusiastic theatergoers. This decision comes amid her ongoing popularity as a co-host on 'This Morning' and reflects her commitment to both television and theatrical performances, balancing different facets of her career. Her plans for the panto during the festive season have left viewers eager for her return in January, 2025, when she will resume her hosting duties alongside her colleague Dermot O'Leary, who is set to host with Josie Gibson in her absence.
