Alison Hammond strips off to red bikini for hot tub date with This Morning co-stars

Alison Hammond stripped off to her bikini as she relaxed in her hot tub with her This Morning co-stars over Easter.

The mum-of-one, 48, looked sensational in the red two-piece as she sipped on a cocktail with therapists Nik and Eva Speakman.

The couple posted a snap of the trio enjoying the bubbles with the caption: "Sorry you couldn't join us for a cocktail in Alison's hot tub. We had a great time. Thank you so much for looking after us @alisonhammond55 we love you."

The Speakmans, who are currently starring in Channel 4's Celebrity Hunted, launched their own daytime TV show in 2014, where they helped members of the public overcome their fears.

The duo later became resident therapists on This Morning and have given their expert views on other shows such as Loose Women, Big Brother and Surprise, Surprise.

Nik and Eva may have advised their pal Alison after she found herself in hot water following her comments about The Bodyguard musical being stopped last week.

Police were called to the Palace Theatre in Manchester after rowdy audience members ruined the final number belting out their own rendition of I Will Always Love You.

Discussing whether singing should be banned during the performance, Alison said she wouldn't go to the show if that was the case.

But the bubbly Brummie was slammed by fans, including Britain's Got Talent's George Sampson, who accused the Big Brother star of not respecting the performers.

In response, Alison apologised, saying: "After reflection and the comments I made on Wednesday's show I want to apologise to anyone who I offended especially the incredibly talented theatre performers, who I have the upmost respect for."

But her apology wasn't enough for former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips, who said: "Alison thank you for your apology but I would just like to say, you have no idea what it is really like for those performers in the shows where the songs are popular hits and certain members of the audience feel entitled to join in."

The 79-year-old, who has choreographed a number of West End musicals, added: "Performers are unsure what to do. They are not trained when audiences get out of control and arguing with each other. It’s so distressing. Let’s hope this behaviour stops and normality returns."

Police officers rushed to Palace Theatre in Manchester last week after audience members began singing over the top of performers - despite signs around the auditorium asking the public not to sing.
