ITV's Alison Hammond discusses impact of daily racist abuse 'you become numb'
This Morning's Alison Hammond was left opening up about the racist abuse she receives online on the ITV show, as she said she is 'numb' to it and 'ignores' it. Alison Hammond has revealed the daily abuse she endures from people online when appearing on This Morning. The ITV presenter made the confession while discussing the day's headlines on Monday's show, alongside co-host Dermot O'Leary. During their conversation, they touched upon the England Lionesses' decision not to take the knee at their upcoming match against Italy this week. This decision follows player Jess Carter receiving racist abuse online, leading the defender to issue a statement on social media. The footballer informed her followers that she is stepping back from social media and leaving the situation for the team to handle, reports the Mirror. Nick Ferrari shared his thoughts on the matter, saying: "The problem is, it's another major football tournament where we're actually not talking about the football, despite the fact that the Lionesses have done so well and let's wish them the best of luck tomorrow in the semis. "We're actually talking again, a bit like the Arsenal lad in the penalties in 2021. We didn't talk about the football; we talked about the racism, and here we are, another big football tournament, and we're doing it again." Alison Phillips pointed out that the media are discussing it due to the magnitude of the event, but she noted that for many people of colour, these types of experiences are a daily occurrence. In response, Alison said: " I'll be honest with you, I get that all the time. You kind of become numb to it now. I have to ignore it all the time. "I've seen loads of comments that are racist towards me, and I literally just ignore. You become numb." Dermot appeared shocked by Alison's comment, reminding her that she shouldn't have to endure such treatment. He asked what changes she believes could be implemented to prevent this from occurring. She responded: "It would be very difficult to police. But, ultimately, I think Nick has made a good point in the fact that my age, the fact that I didn't have social media as a child, really doesn't bother me. "I know these people online are not the people that I love. If my family were saying awful things like that, it would have a massive effect. But, it really doesn't affect me." Dermot retorted: "But, they shouldn't be free to say it in the first place." Alison reassured her co-host that negative comments don't affect her because she doesn't personally know the individuals making them.

BBC's Hole in the Wall coming back after 'successful pilot'
Hole in the Wall originally aired in 2008, and was hosted by the late Dale Winton and Strictly judge Anton Du Beke. It ran for two series and featured players tasked with fitting through cutout holes in a variety of shapes in a polystyrene wall that slowly moved towards them. Now, reports say that the show is returning for a new series, with Alison Hammond set to host.

Now, according to a new report from The Mirror, the BBC has given the green light for a full series after a "successful pilot". Alison Hammond, who already presents on ITV's This Morning, will become the new host of the gameshow. Since competing in Big Brother in 2002 and rising to prominence, Hammond has also become the co-presenter on Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off. The TV star has also been in a number of other shows, such as I'm a Me Out of Here! (2010), Strictly Come Dancing (2014), Celebrity Masterchef (2014), and as a panellist on ITV's Loose Women. On the pilot, a source told the publisher: 'Alison made a splash in the pilot, so it was a no-brainer for bosses. 'It's the perfect fit for her. It's fun, exciting and doesn't take itself too seriously - just like Alison.' It is reported that the series will be filmed later this year and air in 2026. How does Hole in the Wall work?
