This Morning hosts reveal they will spend Christmas Day together – and their kids are coming too

ALISON Hammond has revealed she's spending Christmas with one of her This Morning co-stars - and it's going to be a family affair.

Presenter Alison, 47, shared her plans for the big day ahead of the This Morning special on 25 December.

During a chat with co-host Dermot O'Leary, the former Big Brother star said: "[Josie] Gibson's coming again this year with her little one."

Alison told the Mirror: "So I’ll be cooking for her, our boys, my brother and there might be some friends that are doing panto locally too joining us.";

Last year, the This Morning presenting duo delighted fans after they confirmed they were spending Christmas together.

Josie posted a series of snaps from Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2021, showing off Alison's delicious-looking spread.

Revealing that Alison went all out, Josie revealed they tucked into a selection of meats, vegetables, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.

And, complimenting the chef, Josie later said: "Never had a Christmas dinner like it. Best Christmas dinner ever."

During their Friday slot before Christmas, Alison told her co-host Dermot O'Leary that Josie would be coming over after he said he'd love to spend the day at the Hammonds.

She said: "Well you're more than welcome - Josie's coming if you want to come over. Maybe about six in total, hopefully fingers crossed... government. Hopefully yes, six."

Alison previously opened up about her close friendship with Josie, telling OK!: "Josie and I are really close. We spoke to each other every day during lockdown.”

And Josie echoed her comments, adding: "Alison actually got me through lockdown. She was there for me on the phone every night, and we decided to get very spiritual together.

“I love her. Being around Alison is like having a permanent hug.”
