This Morning will face an unexpected shake-up on Monday as a Hollywood star jumps in to take on Alison Hammond’s job on the show.
The TV presenter, 49, will be turfed out of her seat by A-lister Ryan Gosling as she interviews him and co-star Emily Blunt about their new film, The Fall Guy.
While Alison is hoping to quiz Ryan and Emily on their action movie, the actor has other ideas as he takes charge of the interview.
At the beginning of the interview, Alison asks: ‘Do you remember me, Ryan?’
Alison is referring to a viral interview she did with the Barbie actor and Harrison Ford in 2017, which descended into chaos when they couldn’t stop laughing.

Ryan, who insisted he did remember her, was forced to leave the set when he couldn’t stop laughing during the interview promoting Blade Runner 2049.
When Ryan asked Alison if he had seen the original Blade Runner, the presenter answered honestly, that she had never watched it.
Alison recalled: ‘[Ryan] asked the question, ‘Are you a big fan of the film?’, and I was like, ‘Well, no I’m not! Do I tell him the truth? Do I lie? What do I do?’
‘But I thought, you know what, my mum always says, always tell the truth, so I said, ‘I’ve never seen it, babes’, and I think that got things going.
‘He started laughing and I started laughing, and it settled the moment.
‘After, I thought, ‘Was that any good? Have we got anything? I don’t think we’ve got any content about the film whatsoever.’
‘I can remember my producer saying, ‘Don’t worry, we can do something with that, it’ll be fine’.’
The video, which has now been viewed more than 18 million times, catapulted her career and she received messages from stars such as James Corden about it.

It comes after Alison was left doing a double take on Friday’s episode of This Morning as she was presented with a waxwork of herself.
She was presented with the model by Dermot O’Leary, who declared, ‘Are you ready for a double dose of the Hammond?’ before the grand unveiling.
Impressed by the waxwork, which will feature in Madame Tussauds’ Blackpool museum, Alison joked: ‘I’ve always wanted to have a twin!’ adding ‘It’s an honour.’
The mother-of-one was filmed during the making of the waxwork where she had various sittings to pose for the sculptors.
In a film about the creative process, Alison mused: ‘I can’t tell you how much of an incredible experience that was, seeing myself. I know it’s not got the colour yet, but honestly I cannot wait to see the finished product.’

On her first glance at the finished product, a gobsmacked Alison said: ‘Oh my gosh! Shall I stand next to her?
‘I can see myself from behind, it’s so weird I can’t tell you! I think she’s more beautiful… What’s it like having an Alison sandwich?’
Dermot replied: ‘It’s quite overwhelming I’ve got to be honest with you! I’m not sure I can handle more than one!’
Alison later said: ‘Can I just say that the team at Madame Tussauds, they have worked so hard and you’ve done such a good job – I can’t believe I’m looking at myself!
‘Look at the lashes! Well go and see her, she is going to be in Blackpool, go and have a selfie with her, she’s lovely!’

Meanwhile, Alison is said to have a new lease of life after finding love with hunky 6ft 10in model David Putman, who is 23 years her junior and also a masseur.
Earlier this week, the surprising way the couple met was revealed with their relationship blossoming from the moment Alison booked David for a £150 massage.
According to The Sun, Alison was a client of the professional masseur and it was during a session that the pair first hit it off, with the presenter visiting David in between her busy filming schedule.
Their friendship then reportedly turned romantic at the end of last year, despite the 23 year age gap between the pair.
Originally from Krasnodar in Russia, David left the country for the UK in December 2022 to escape the front line following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
A friend of David told the publication: ‘ When the war in Ukraine began David’s mother Olga began to worry. She didn’t want her boys dragged into it. She wanted them safe like any mother would.’
David therefore moved to the UK, where he now lives with his uncle Nigel Putman, 71, in Slough, but he spends a lot of time in London for work.
The friend explained that David was able to avoid being drafted into the Russian army as his father, also called David, is originally from Slough himself, therefore the young masseur already had British citizenship.
