ITV viewers were given the latest headlines by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary during Friday's show.
During Friday's episode of This Morning, Alison Hammond shared a heartfelt moment on the show.
While speaking with Kate Lawler, who was reporting live from a football ground in anticipation of the Women's European Championship, Alison became visibly moved.
As Kate concluded her segment by demonstrating some football skills and reminiscing about her childhood dream of becoming a footballer, Alison made a confession.
She remarked: "You know what is so lovely? It actually makes me a little bit emotional because of how far women's football has come."
She continued, expressing her joy and aspirations for the sport, adding: "It's actually beautiful to see. It makes me so happy, it really does. It's unbelievable, I just want them to be paid the same. I wish."
Kate, during the broadcast, confessed to being "star-struck" while interviewing two England Lioness legends, reports Wales Online.
Janet Bagguley, a member of the 1972 team who now works as a postwoman, proudly displayed her 12 caps earned during her football career, stating: "I'm very, very proud."
Acknowledging the progress of women's football, Janet expressed her amazement: "Oh, it's absolutely fantastic!"
She reflected on the impact of the previous European Championship victory, adding: "When you look at these kids behind us today, and after we won the Euro's last time, it went boom."
Janet also spoke to viewers about her current role, gathering letters of support for the England team as part of her postal duties.
Discussing the Lioness Letter campaign, she revealed: "We've been around all the schools, we're in Manchester later today, we're in London over the weekend.
"Anybody can come and write their own letter, and we promise they'll be delivered to the Lionesses."
Janet, holding one of the letters, informed Kate that it was written by her five-year-old granddaughter wishing the team good luck.
Kate responded: "That's class, that is! I just want to say, I can't believe I'm stood with an OG Lioness."
The UEFA Women's EURO 2025 will take place from 2 to 27 July in Switzerland, across eight venues. Both ITV and the BBC will provide coverage.
This Morning is available to watch on ITVX.

Love Island fans divided as two Islanders axed including 'winner'
Megan Forte Clarke and Remell Mullins were asked to leave the Island tonight after viewers voted for their favourite stars and they came in at the bottom of the list Love Island viewers have been left divided after a dramatic elimination saw two islanders dumped from the villa tonight (June 27), including one half of a couple previously tipped to win the entire series. The public have been voting for their favourite Islanders, and after the results came in, Megan Forte Clarke and Remell Mullins were revealed to be the public's least liked girl and boy in the villa. This meant they were asked to leave the island in the most recent instalment of the ITV reality show. Remell has been tipped to leave Love Island early ever since he stepped out on viewer favourite Alima, but Megan's exit comes as a surprise as only days ago viewers were predicting that she and her partner Tommy Bradley were frontrunners to win the entire series. Bookies indicated they were in the lead, with Betfred offering Megan at 15/8 and Unibet putting Tommy at 7/4 to take the Love Island prize home just last Wednesday (June 18). Fans also thought Megan was destined to be at the Love Island finale with Tommy by her side, as one previously tweeted: "I know Tommy and Megan are on the clear road to win Love Island UK but we actually can't let that happen." Fans have reacted to her exit, with one poking fun at her sudden fall from grace, saying: "Megan really quickly went from Hero to Zero." Another agreed: "Megan deffo had a chance at winning the show if she just stuck with Tommy." Someone else was delighted to see her booted out as a consequence for her actions, and shared: "Megan has been dumped? Thank God. What she did to Tommy was awful." Before she was voted out, Megan's love story took a dramatic turn this week. After being coupled up with Tommy since day one, the 24-year-old Irish beauty sparked outrage among viewers when she shared a secret kiss with fellow Irish islander Conor Phillips while Conor's partner Emily was away from the villa. After Emily returned, she confronted Conor about his betrayal in the Snug. She seemed particularly surprised that Megan had agreed to lock lips with him, saying: "That's quite intense… I thought Megan was more into Tommy to the point where she wouldn't have done that." Later that evening, Conor dropped another bombshell by telling Emily that he would be spending the night with Megan in the Hideaway. In the private bedroom the pair had another smooch, and Conor even gifted Megan his bracelet. Fans were left furious after both Conor and Megan hurt the feelings of the people they were coupled up with. One took to social media to say: "Conor didn't care one bit about dumping Emily. She basically did it without him asking." Another viewer fumed: "OMG not Megan and Conor going to the hideaway MINUTES after dumping Emily and Tommy." Poor Tommy was heartbroken to have lost Megan after going steady with her since the start of the show, and opened up to his friends Harry and Ben, admitting he just wanted to "sit in a quiet corner". Before going into the Hideaway with Conor Megan pulled Tommy for a chat, coldly telling him: "It's nothing against you, but I'm here to explore connections. I didn't have to come and tell you this but I do like you, so I am telling you."

Love Island fans slam 'misogynistic' star as he's given clear warning
Ben was warned to mind his tone by another co-star after calling Yasmin "irrelevant" and continuing to belittle her to other Love Island stars after dumping her Love Island's Ben has come under fire from viewers after making a series of "misogynistic" comments about fellow Islander Yasmin. Fans were left fuming after Ben continued to belittle Yasmin to the boys in scenes that aired tonight (June 27), calling her "a nobody". He already left ITV viewers incensed when he was shown calling the girl "irrelevant" last night (June 27) as they split up. Tonight Yasmin was seen updating Conor, Megan, Shakira and Toni about her clash with the taxi driver. She told her co-stars: "He said I've come out of my shell because of him, he said people only like you in here because of me." The girl went on to vent to Toni on the terrace the next day, joking: "Ben's head is as big as Majorca." Love Island viewers were quick to slam Ben for his disrespectful comments towards Yasmin on social media, with one raging: "Ben truly disgusts me. I wonder how he treats women in his family cuz this man is misogynistic as hell, he still saying wild shit about Yasmin." Another added: "Maybe Ben has selective amnesia but nothing he said was 'perfect'. His obsession with humbling women screams incel." Others suggested producers may have been involved in Dejon cautioning Ben to keep an eye on his behaviour, speculating: "Producers deffo told Dejon to speak to Ben about his 'tone' cus Ben received too much complaints." Ben and Yasmin's relationship has been a rollercoaster ride over the past few days. The pair were initially coupled up and even grew close under the covers in bed. However, things took a dramatic turn when Ben spoke to his friends about how he was no longer interested in her, and told Yasmin he wanted to "take a step back" because their connection had gone "from 0 to 100 real quick". He later told Shakira he had never had real feelings for Yasmin and claimed she had been the one to initiate intimacy between them. Yasmin confronted Ben after being encouraged by Toni to stand up for herself, only for him to repeatedly interrupt her and ask: "Are you done ranting?" Yasmin hit back, reminding him that it "wasn't the Ben show" and that the " world doesn't revolve around" him. As Yasmin walked away, Ben shouted after her: "This is amazing content… You've just given Love Island three weeks of content," before cruelly adding, "No man wants you in here" and branding her "the most irrelevant girl I've ever met". Fans were horrified by his behaviour, and one viewer called him "a real nasty piece of work" online. Another posted: "Nah Ben is actually a disgusting person. The way he just spoke about Yas and treated her there was genuinely one of the most uncomfortable things I've sat through."

Love Island fans in shock as ‘cheaters' Remell and Megan are sent packing in savage public vote
The dumped lad admitted he regretted ditching a bombshell in the other villa ISLAND EXITS Love Island fans in shock as 'cheaters' Remell and Megan are sent packing in savage public vote Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE ISLAND fans were left in shock as "cheaters" Remell and Megan were sent packing in a savage public vote. The departure came after the public were asked to choose their favourite boy and favourite girl. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Ben. Harry and Remell were left in the bottom three after the public vote Credit: ITV 6 Shakira, Megan and Toni were the three bottom girls facing the public vote Credit: ITV 6 Megan was dumped from the villa in the public vote Credit: ITV 6 Remell was dumped from the villa in the public vote Credit: ITV In tonight's show while Shakira was arguing with Harrison, Giorgio got a text and everyone was sent to gather at the Firepit. The bottom three girls were then revealed as Shakira, Megan and Toni. And the bottom three boys in the firing line were Ben, Harry and Remell. Shockingly, Megan and Remell received the least votes from the public and were then immediately dumped from the villa. Alima furiously ended things with dumped Remell last night in an explosive showdown following his return from the sleepover. Remell had chosen to stick with partner Alima instead of pairing with new girl Poppy, who he spent the last two days snogging at every opportunity. During his time in the other villa, Remell made Poppy believe he was going to pick her. He told her: 'I'm being comfy around you still. It's the first time in, you know, the villa that I have felt like this, so it's telling me something.' He even made a shocking confession to the new bombshell and told her he might be 'done' with Alima. But he then changed his mind and Alima was thrilled to be picked, until she learned what Remell had been up to. OG Love Island girl and 'cheat' boy kicked out of the villa after explosive rows over secret kisses Alima soon confronted Remell in a bad-tempered chat in the garden and told him last night things between them were over. Meanwhile, Megan finally confirmed last night that she and Tommy were over, after spending recent days ramping up her connection with rugby lad Conor. No sooner had she told a delighted Conor about the development, he suggested they spend the night in the hideaway. The explosive move came after they shared two snogs on the Terrace behind smitten Tommy Bradley's back, infuriating fans. Megan and Tommy had seemed to be one of the dating show's most secure couples until this week, when her head was turned by Conor - sparking other Islanders to brand the situation 'wife swap'. And fans turned on 'nasty' Megan after she gleefully called Conor and Tommy's row over her "brilliant". 6 Emily was left feeling shocked at the public result Credit: ITV
