Alison Hammond has delivered a blunt three-word message to critics calling for her axe from an ITV programme – “deal with it”.

The host has responded to demands from online trolls over her position on For The Love Of Dogs.

The 50-year-old broadcaster took over hosting the ITV programme after Paul O’Grady’s death in 2023 and two years on she continues to face scrutiny.Yet, the This Morning favourite has served up a brutal comeback. Chatting to The Guardian, Alison declared: “People say Pete Wicks would be better than me at presenting For the Love of Dogs.

“He might be, but I’m doing it. Deal with it! I know my worth. Besides, my mum would have been so proud. That’s why I do this. She’s my guiding light.”

Additionally, Alison referenced a TikTok clip showing a woman slamming her involvement in Celebrity Gogglebox,” reports Birmingham Live.

Alison revealed she is “good at saying no” and will reject opportunities if they don’t fit her schedule or when she requires downtime.

She went on: “It may seem like I’m on TV a lot, but I stand out partly because it’s still not common to see a Black woman doing this.

“I don’t want to bring race into it but nobody says that about Davina or Ant and Dec. I’ve worked hard for 22 years to get here.”

Alison emphasised she is merely “doing a job that I adore to the best of my ability, trying to be better than I was yesterday”.

Previously this year, Alison was stunned when a vicious online bully branded her “repulsive”. She shared a light-hearted video of herself driving a tractor in a cornfield on social media, with the caption: “Rolling into my holidays.”

However, a comment from a 77-year-old man named Peter left her almost speechless. Peter’s comment read: “People say Pete Wicks would be better than me at presenting For the Love of Dogs.

“Any time we see you are on TV we switch channels as you turn our stomachs being so fat and repulsive with a huge mouth.”

Clearly distressed, Alison retweeted his comment with a single word – “Wow”.

One fan, rallying behind the presenter, commented: “Alison you know how special and fantastic you are.”
