"Alison is a tough cookie, but the vitriol from some so-called fans of This Morning has been impossible for her to ignore," said an ITV insider. "As a result of Love Island and Jeremy Kyle tragedies, ITV are very serious about duty of care and arranged to sit down with Alison to see how she was coping."

"Alison confided that while the Friday gig is her dream come true, staying positive had become a battle. She was given advice on how to stay strong mentally and prepared for what to expect after the announcement was confirmed."
