THIS Morning has confirmed which presenters will stand in alongside Holly Willoughby after Phillip Schofield's axe yesterday.
ITV revealed yesterday that Holly, 42, would be joined by members of the "This Morning family" as part of the emergency shake up.
The broadcaster released a statement explaining that members of the This Morning family will be stepping into the shoes of the presenter after Phil, 61, made the shock announcement on Saturday.
Now, it has been confirmed that Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary would be standing in for the upcoming week.

The pair usually present the show on Friday mornings.
Holly is not set to return to the This Morning screens until Monday, June 5 - after ITV revealed she was taking "an early half term holiday".
Tensions between Phillip, 61, and Holly led to the star releasing a shock statement he was stepping back from the show yesterday.
The presenting pair saw their once-close relationship crumble in recent weeks with “seismic” summer shake-up predicted.
Phillip took to his social media to confirm that he would be stepping down from the role after a "difficult" few days.
In his statement he told his fans: "ITV have decided the current situation can't go on".
Phillip wrote: "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning, but recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
"Throughout my career in TV - including the very difficult last few days - I have always done my best to be honourable and kind.
"I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can't go on and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love.
"So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future.

"I'd like to thank everyone what has supported me - especially This Morning's amazing viewers - and I'll see you all for the Soap Awards next month."
Following the news, ITV hinted at the replacement for the star, revealing who would be filling his spot on the show.
"After more than 20 years on the This Morning sofa, Phillip Schofield has stepped back from ITV's flagship morning show having presented his last episode on Thursday 18 May," they penned.
"Having co-hosted the multi-award winning show for two decades, Phillip will continue to present peak time shows for ITV including next month's The British Soap Wards and a new prime time series.
"Holly Willoughby will remain on This Morning and will co-present with members of the This Morning family."
It comes after The Sun revealed that the rift forming between the pair - that has become apparent in recent weeks - began YEARS ago.
The pair’s power struggle came to a head last year when they were vilified after being spotted skipping the queue to see the Queen lying in state.
Ahead of Phillip's statement today, he and Holly had already been granted time off from presenting This Morning together.
The once best-pal pair had been given the school holidays to cool off from one another - as fans speculated whether Phillip would return at all.
Alison Hammond had already been suggested as the presenter who will take over from Phillip, forming a "dynamic duo" with Holly.
