‘I would always love to host This Morning.’
Ashley added that she only follows where her interests are, and she will always ‘work harder than anyone else’.
Meanwhile, despite This Morning appearing to escape ITV’s budget cuts to its daytime operations, MailOnline previously revealed the hidden cutbacks it will face.
Insiders have claimed sending the likes of host Alison to Los Angeles for interviews with Hollywood stars and large-scale production items will be scrapped.
A TV source revealed that bosses will no longer be able to ‘justify’ big, splashy, Showbiz-filled segments when they are making huge cuts so dramatically behind the scenes and staff, including those employed at This Morning, are at risk of losing their jobs.
They explained: ‘As well as cuts behind the scenes, there will be big changes on camera, especially on This Morning, big production items like musical theatre performances or outside broadcasts, which is what the show is famous for, will be cut.
‘Gone are the days of flying talent like Alison Hammond to Los Angeles to interview Hollywood stars.
‘The general consensus among staff is that the shows are being put on life support and within time, Lorraine and Loose Women will be the first to be cancelled.’
