Inside Alison Hammond’s four-bedroom home worth a whopping £700k
Alison Hammond’s four-bedroom house worth £700,000 – after she put it up for sale the same day, Phillip Schofield quit This Morning
Alison Hammond has put her home in Birmingham on the market – on the same day Phillip Schofield quit This Morning after 21 years.
The beloved presenter, 48, has put her £700,000 home in Solihull in the Midlands up for sale.
The move would free Alison to be closer to West London, where the ITV studios are based, in case she gets more duties on This Morning.
She currently hosts the Friday segment with Dermot O’Leary – as the two replaced Holly in the first week since veteran Phillip left the show.
And the Daily Mail has previously reported that Alison is Holly’s favorite to replace him.

Wow: Alison previously showed off her home in a live segment on This Morning in 2020
A source told The sun: ‘The timings are entirely coincidental, but perhaps telling. Alison loves that house, but wants a fresh start. She is in incredible demand.
“It looks very likely that she will be asked to work on This Morning more days a week – and will therefore spend more time in London.”
Alison’s £700,000 abode in Birmingham features a hot tub, dining room and open-plan spacious kitchen, as well as a huge garden.
She moved in during the 2020 lockdown, before showing off her new home live on This Morning to an adoring Phillip and Holly.

It went on the market on Thursday as ITV bosses held emergency talks with Phillip about his departure, before he quit the show for good on Saturday.
Alison is clearly a rising star on TV – as in March she was announced as the new presenter for the Great British Bake Off.
She first became a household name when she appeared on Big Brother in 2002, a decision she later revealed because she wanted to pay off her “traumatizing debt.”

Replacement: Alison is reportedly Holly Willoughby’s favorite to co-host This Morning with her
Despite her humble beginnings, Alison even hosts the BAFTAs with Richard E. Grant.
She also starred in more reality TV, appearing in I’m A Celebrity in 2010 and Celebrity Masterchef in 2014 and Celebrity Fit Club, just to name a few.
As of 2023, the TV star is estimated to be worth between £2 and 4 million – a stark departure from the days when she struggled to make ends meet.
In a statement released Saturday, Phillip said: ‘I’ve always taken pride in writing fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
“During my career in TV – including the very difficult past few days – I have always tried my best to be honorable and kind.
“I understand that ITV has decided that the current situation cannot continue and I want to do what I can to protect the show I love.
So I’ve agreed to step down from This Morning effective immediately, in hopes that the show has a bright future.
“I want to thank everyone who has supported me – especially the wonderful viewers of This Morning – and I’ll see you all next month at the Soap Awards.”
