Alison Hammond has shared that she wants her show in a career move that could see her leave ITV's This Morning.
Hammond found fame after starring in Big Brother back in 2002 and despite being one of the housemates to be evicted, has since become a national icon.
Now a regular host on This Morning, she appeared on I'm a Celebrity in 2010 and even acted on Doctors and the CBBC's The Dumping Ground.
Recently, Hammond has become the host of The Great British Bake Off alongside Noel Fielding taking over from Matt Lucas.
However, now Hammond has hinted that she could leave This Morning in a career move to get her own show.
Alison Hammond could leave This Morning to get her own show
Talking to Woman's Own magazine, Hammond shared: "I love my job and I'm good at it. But I've always got plans, things I want to do next. I can't tell you how many times I've asked for my own show."

Adding: "That's what I want, a show called Alison. It might get to the point where I just make it myself!"
Since becoming a presenter on This Morning, Hammond has interviewed massive celebrity names including Harrison Ford, Ryan Glosing, Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and even 'married' The Rock.
Discussing one of her most popular interviews, Britney Spears, Hammond shared that the singer seemed very nice: "When I met her, she just seemed like a 21-year-old nice girl-next-door who was very pleasant to interview."
Hammond also shared what it was like interviewing her celebrity crush, George Clooney: "I was very nervous. I felt sick afterwards because I'd hit him in the face with a microphone accidentally because I was shaking so much!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
