A<\/a>lison Hammond<\/a> has shared an update on her health as she was forced to take a step back from This Morning<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The star presents the ITV show every Friday alongside Dermot O’Leary<\/a>, but was absent from today’s episode due to hay fever. She was replaced by former model and presenter Lisa Snowdon.<\/p>\n

“Alison is a little bit poorly today, she says it’s hay fever, but I think it’s more than that, I think it’s a bad flu,” Dermot told viewers.<\/p>\n

Lisa added: “She sounded terrible and she doesn’t look her freshest either so she needs to rest. She’s had a major allergic reaction she looks and feels terrible so feel better soon!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Alison took to social media to explain her absence, telling her followers that she’s had “the worst hay fever” over the last few days. <\/p>\n

She went on to explain that “the lovely Lisa Snowdon” would be serving as her replacement on the show and “looking after my lovely Dermot”.<\/p>\n
