“It is also a relief to finally be able to tell people now,” she added.
The Louth native, who has previously worked for RTE, BBC, Sky News and Channel 4, said she is a tough when it comes to asking questions on the show.
“I’ve been described as warm, I like to think I can put people at ease, but I can also go in for the kill so I am no pussy cat either,” she told the Sunday Independent.

Although Alison will inevitably be compared to presenters Grainne Seoige and Sharon Ni Bheolain.
“I’m not looking to emulate anyone. I just want to concentrate on what I am doing and bring my own personal style to the programme,” she said.
