Popular This Morning presenter Alison Hammond is reportedly "gutted" after she was 'dropped' for a massive TV role later this year.
The Big Brother star presented the 2023 BAFTA Film Awards alongside Richard E Grant but was not selected for the honour again next month.
This comes after her numerous recent appearances on programmes like the Great British Bake Off.
Doctor Who actor David Tennant will be fronting the prestigious event, reportedly leaving Alison Hammond "gutted".
Surprise! Your host for the #EEBAFTAs 2024 is the incredible... David Tennant 💫

Alison Hammond 'gutted' after being dropped for BAFTA presenting job
A source close to the ITV This Morning star told Closer: "Alison had really hoped that she could do the BAFTAs for another year and even become a main host.
"She’s gutted not to be asked back – especially as she has built up such a great rapport with all the A-listers in Hollywood who seem to love her too."
They added: "Alison often suffers from imposter syndrome and thinks that everything could get taken away from her at a moment’s notice, despite all her success.
"Because she got into the entertainment industry via a reality show, she’s always felt like she’s had to work harder to prove to people that she’s got skill and talent and isn’t just famous for being famous.
"She’s really grateful for everything she has going on right now, but she’s aware how cut-throat the TV world can be."
It’s time to announce the nominees for the 2024 #EEBAFTAs ✨

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!
