Romesh Ranganathan breaks silence on replacing Alison Hammond on ITV This Morning news

Alison Hammond to be removed from hosting the daytime show following dramatic shake-up

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan is reportedly in talks to replace Alison Hammond as a regular host on ITV This Morning.

The news comes after it was announced that Hammond would be leaving the show to focus on other projects.

A source told The Sun: "Romesh is a brilliant comedian and presenter and ITV bosses think he would be a great addition to the This Morning team.

"He's got a great sense of humor and he's not afraid to speak his mind, which is exactly what This Morning needs.

"He's also a family man, so he'll be able to relate to the show's viewers.

Ranganathan has previously appeared on This Morning as a guest, and he has always been a popular figure with viewers.

He is best known for his stand-up comedy, but he has also presented several television shows, including The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan and Avoidance.

If Ranganathan does join This Morning, he will become the first non-white male to host the show.

This would be a significant step forward for the show, which has been criticized in the past for its lack of diversity.

Hammond has been a regular host on This Morning since 2009, and she has become one of the most popular presenters on British television.

She is known for her warm and bubbly personality, and she has a great rapport with viewers.

It is not yet known why Hammond is leaving This Morning, but it is believed that she wants to focus on other projects.

She has recently signed a deal with ITV to present a new dating show, and she is also working on a new book.

Hammond's departure from This Morning will come as a blow to viewers, but Ranganathan is a talented presenter who could prove to be a worthy successor.
