Strictly fans call for Alison Hammond to join as new host after she 'steals the show' with guest appearance | The Sun
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were left gushing over "national treasure" Alison Hammond and called for her to have a permanent spot on the show.
This Morning anchor Alison, 47, – who herself starred in Strictly Come Dancing's 12th season – burst out of a sparkling door to read the phone line terms and conditions.
She showed off her figure in a flowing purple number which she first wore when she danced in back in 2014.
Alison made her cameo alongside host Claudia Winkleman – with the pair bouncing off each other with their banter.
This led to BBC viewers calling for the I Can See Your Voice star to secure a permanent role on the sequin-studded series.
One took to Twitter to put: "Alison Hammond would make a great presenter of #Strictly and rejuvenate the show. She is naturally funny, bubbly and can ad lib."

Another continued: "Alison Hammond and Claudia Winkleman need to present something together, they're so joyous #nationaltreasures #strictly."
One BBC fan then replied: "I was thinking this, she’d be so perfect! I do think we’re reaching the point where Tess & Claudia need to move on. Strictly has gone from being formal to being more fun, energised & creative & the presenting needs to fit that. Alison would capture that perfectly! #strictly."
One then confessed: "Felt like Alison was auditioning for Tess or Claudia's job then #Strictly," as another wrote: "I’m still trying to recover from the excitement of seeing Alison Hammond read out the terms and conditions."
Another then confessed: "National Treasure: Alison Hammond 👏🏼 #Strictly."

She starred on Strictly in 2014, paired with now former pro Aljaž Škorjanec.
