Alison Hammond is reportedly set for a pay rise from This Morning as she moves up the ranks following the departure of co-star Phillip Schofield, who stepped down from the show earlier this month.The fan-favourite presenter, who reportedly put her £700,000 home up for sale last Thursday, is thought to have a net worth of at least £1M and has been on the show for over ten years, with speculation that she'll be spending even more time in the studio in the coming months.

Phil's exit also came after his brother, Timothy Schofield, was jailed for 12 years for child sex offences. Holly is staying on at the show but is on an extended half-term break and is due to return on Monday, 5 June with a rota of guest presenters filling in
