Alison Hammond returned to the This Morning sofa on Wednesday alongside Craig Doyle, as her usual co-presenter Dermot O'Leary was off celebrating his 50th birthday. Body language expert Darren Stanton argued that although Alison is the "stronger presenter" with the role of a "leader" with Craig, she feels "more connected and confident" with Dermot by her side on the couch. Speaking on behalf of Betfair, Darren said: "Alison is a natural presenter with ITV’s viewers, she’s enticing and knows how to do it well.
"She’s brought in a lot of success for the show, and people do connect with Alison because she’s authentic and never holds herself back from expressing herself. "It creates trust and a rapport between her and the audience. Viewers feel they have a relationship with Alison.
However, she is definitely a lot more confident with Dermot by her side, as they present together a lot more. "She feels more connected with Dermot. I think she knows that if she does make a mistake, he has the experience to carry it on and pick up the slack.
Alison’s body language has changed over the years with This Morning as she now has a greater responsibility. She has a lot of confidence and her and Dermot have a great dynamic on screen." Discussing how Alison is the "stronger presenter" while hosting alongside Craig, Darren continued: "During the opening moments of the show, Alison touched Craig’s arm as she said, ‘It’s really good to have you back.’ It’s noticeable that Craig was quite nervous, so it was a nice gesture for Alison to do on screen. "He was quite jittery when he was speaking, so it’s clear Alison made sure to reassure him and put him at ease as much as she can - showing him that they were in it together.
