Alison, 48, is currently finishing up her stint in panto and Dermot, 50, stepped aside on Monday after hosting This Morning with newcomer Sian Welby last week.

Rylan, 35, and Rochelle, 34, kicked off today's show with a segment on the crackown on vaping.

Vapes are set to be banned under new laws to prevent children from becoming addicted to them.

But they reunited over the weekend, with Dermot heading to Birmingham to see Alison in action, and they posed for a sweet photo together backstage.

It comes as This Morning introduced a new presenter who is tipped to permanently replace Holly Willoughby who left last year.

Meanwhile, Rylan confirmed he is taking a break from his weekend BBC Radio Two show.

Rylan said: “I’m going to be off for a few weeks filming something very special – so the wonderful Paddy McGuinness is going to be keeping my lovely Radio 2 listeners entertained while I’m away. Over to you Paddy.”

Rylan is heading off to investigate Britain's biggest party animals abroad.

Hosting Amazon Prime Video's latest show, Hot Mess Summer, the telly favourite will be casting a beady eye across eight wild and free Brits as they are tasked with running a VIP Zante bar in the chance of winning some cash.

The Geordie Shore meets Ibiza Weekender style show is in the running to be tipped as the UK's wildest reality television programme yet.
