Dermot O'Leary gushes over Alison Hammond as she debuts gorgeous new look on ITV This Morning

Dermot O'Leary was quick to compliment his co-host as the pair reunited for This Morning. The presenter and Alison Hammond were back on the ITV daytime show in their usual Friday slot.

And the 47-year-old was being flooded with compliments as she appeared on screen as she debuted a new hair do. Dermot, 48, was quick to clock her new shoulder-length bob, gushing: "The hair is looking absolutely spectacular!"

Alison then said: "I'm loving my hair," as she stroked her straight locks "Thank you Michelle, who did my hair today. I'm immediately acting differently with this hair, I'm sorry guys."

Flipping her hair like a true model, the former Big Brother co-star continued: "You know when you have new hair..." before showing off her new acrylic orange and yellow nails. And fans were quick to share their thoughts.

Aside from Alison's fresh look, the show got off to a hilarious start when Dermot admitted he was "a little perplexed" earlier in the week because of a text he received from a member of the This Morning team. "We start talking to the team on Wednesday about what we're going to do in the show," he started to explain as Alison chimed in: "They start talking to you on a Wednesday? They don't phone me until today!"

"Well you're very last minute," Dermot joked before adding "No it's just you don't need it! You know me, I panic and I've got to prep and all that, you're just fine with all that." Anyway, Dermot went on to laugh at how the team member said they were "douching" the show on Friday and wanted to hear his thoughts when of course she meant "producing."

It led to viewers sending in their own texting fails, with some unreadable ton air. But Dermot couldn't quite keep it together when he spotted one which said: "Grace said I meant to text my husband saying I was saving my..." he struggled to continue before composing himself.

"I meant to text my husband saying I was saving my muffin for later but actually text him saying I was going to shave my muffin later." The pair burst into laughter before it was time to move on in case things got any naughtier.
