Alison Hammond is joining the Loose Women for a very special reason.

The This Morning star has been an anchor for the ITV programme for a number of years, where she regularly presents alongside Dermot O’Leary. She also regularly covers for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield before he exited the ITV show.

During Loose Women today, Alison sent a video in to make the big announcement that she would be joining the Loose Women for the London date of their live tour, which kicks off in just a couple of weeks’ time.

Alison confirmed she would be there for their show on Monday September 18, whilst other big names have been announced including Martin Kemp, Nina Wadia and Richard Arnold. Martin will appear at Oxford on September 25th whilst Nina will join the group at Liverpool on September 3rd, with Good Morning Britain star Richard joining the women in Cardiff.

Chesney Hawkes will appear in Nottingham as well as Pop Idol Michelle McManus in Glasgow, X Factor winner Sam Bailey in Leicester, Christopher Biggins in Manchester, Ruthie Henshall in Ipswich and Jake Quickenden will join in Southampton.

Josie appeared on Loose Women last week to confirm she would be joining the tour.

She said of her new role with the panellists: “I will be joining you guys on your little Loose Women tour! I’ll be doing Bath on the 21st September and Plymouth on the 23rd September. I couldn’t let you all have fun without me. That is my little hometown, so I’m excited. I’ve already booked the place for pre-drinks. I’ll get my family to buy some tickets!”

Loose Women editor Sally Shelford revealed: “We’re delighted to have these amazing guests join us for Loose Women Live. They will be wonderful additions to the night, alongside our fantastic Loose Women panellists.”
