Alison commented: “This Morning is an incredible show to work on and it has really shaped my career as a presenter. The event at Merry Hill is all about connecting with fans of the show and giving them a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and experience the show from the other side of the camera.”
Launched in January this year, the new This Morning sofa was given a modern makeover by DFS designer Philip Watkins. Working closely with the team at This Morning, Philip and the DFS design and development studio handcrafted a contemporary modern shape in a luxurious deep burgundy palette.
Following overwhelmingly positive feedback from This Morning viewers, DFS and This Morning teamed up to launch a new limited edition range inspired by the sofa created for the show.
The range is available exclusively at DFS’ store in Dudley and online at www.dfs.co.uk/thismorning.
