Alison Hammond said she has been in and out of hospital to visit her niece as the This Morning host praised the work of the NHS.
The 48-year-old hosted the ITV daytime show alongside Dermot O’Leary on Friday to discuss the day’s news with Carol Vorderman and Nick Ferrari.
The hosts discussed a new survey revealing one in three NHS staff would be unhappy to have their relatives treated in the hospital where they work, which Alison labelled ‘really worrying’.
