As the presenter continues to soak up the glowing reviews – and prove that everything she touches turns to an even shinier gold – heat has been told that the star is thinking about her career prospects, which could result in her bowing out of This Morning.
A source close to the bubbly TV star says, “Alison is feeling torn. She is on a high after receiving such a positive response from viewers and critics following her debut on Bake Off, but it’s left her wondering how much of her time she should devote to This Morning.
