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.

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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
