The news comes after Alison revealed that presenters on This Morning aren't the best of friends, amid claims she's locked in a feud with Ruth and Eamonn.
In an interview conducted before the shakeup was revealed, Alison claimed that only main hosts Holly and Phillip Schofield are off-camera pals.
The TV personality, who attended Ruth and Eamonn's 2010 wedding, told The Sun: 'We’re not on top of each other, do you know what I mean?
'Phillip and Holly, they go on holiday together. They genuinely love each other, in a brother and sister way.
'But literally when we finish everyone wants to go home to their families and see them. We’ve got it just right I think. But no they all go and do their own thing.'
On Thursday, Alison shared a cryptic message, as she took to her Instagram account to tell her followers that 'strong people don't tear down others'.
Days earlier, Ruth was forced to deny she was making a dig at Alison, after it was revealed the former Big Brother star will replace her on the flagship daytime show.
