The 46-year-old presenter and her 47-year-old co-host opened the show at a pub, where Dermot sipped on an alcoholic beverage, as coronavirus restrictions were eased across England.
Dermot said: "Hello welcome to 'This Morning'. It's Monday, April 12th ... uhhh ... six words I've been waiting to say: and we are at the pub."
In response, Alison said: "It feels so good, it feels so good ... and look at you having a beer - I'm having a Baileys. I love a little Baileys - this is like our first jolly!"
Alison and Dermot started co-presenting on 'This Morning' earlier this year, but the UK has been in a state of lockdown over recent months.
Alison previously described her promotion as a "huge privilege and honour".
The former 'Big Brother' star also hailed her "lovely" co-host.
She said: "I never dreamt that when I first joined 'This Morning' - initially for a few months - that I would still be there 19 years later. I genuinely care about the show and the viewers who watch, so it’s a huge privilege and honour to be hosting a show I adore so much.
"I’m just really excited to be doing even more of what I love alongside the lovely Dermot."
Dermot also heaped praise on Alison, describing her as the "living embodiment of sunshine".
He explained: "We have huge shoes to fill and we are well aware what a privilege it is to be stepping into them. Above all, we want to have fun and for you to be able to kick your weekend off with a smile, especially given the year we've all had.
"So I'm delighted to be co-hosting with the living embodiment of sunshine on a rainy day."
