Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary taken back by Phil Vickery's This Morning confession

This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were shocked to hear Phil Vickery's unusual food confession on Wednesday's show.

Dermot and Alison will be taking over the show as regular hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scofield take an extended break due to the Easter holidays. Joining the ITV hosts for the daily cooking segment was chef Phil Vickery as he whipped up a dish of peri peri chicken.

Other cooking guests include Nisha Katona, Clodagh McKenna and Gino D'Acampo who just recently shared he will be taking a break from the show for several months. Teasing what Phil would be doing later in the show, without actually mentioning Nando's by name, Alison said: "How do you fancy the taste of a very famous chicken restaurant for half of the price?"

Ex-Big Brother star Alison then passed over to Phil in the studio kitchen, adding: "Morning Phil - this looks great!" And it was then that Phil made his confession, replying: "I have to admit, I've never actually eaten in that restaurant, but this is what I came up with."

Dermot swiftly shouted: "What?!" Equally astounded, Alison responded: "You've never eaten in that restaurant?! You're missing out babes. You are missing out."

While some viewers were as shocked as Alison and Dermot by Phil's lack of Nando's visits, another responded: "I've never had a Nandos either!"
