This Morning fans amused as Alison Hammond fangirls over Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey

This Morning host Alison Hammond showed just how big a fan she is of Netflix hit Bridgerton on the show on Friday, as she fangirled over one of the cast.

Actor Jonathan Bailey, who leads series two as Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, joined Alison and host Dermot O'Leary on the famous sofas to discuss the series.

Alison was quick to confess her excitement about him being on the show, sharing how she'd binged the latest season in two days.

But she also couldn't help share her love for the character, and the actor who plays him, as he sat next to her.

Many fans of the show were amused as they saw a giddy Alison discuss the series, while some were not impressed with her dropping spoilers.

Alison quickly got onto the topic of the show's method of filming intimate or romantic scenes, whether that be the steamy sex scenes or the more tame moments between characters.

The host was desperate to know how they filmed certain scenes without touching one another, after learning the cast use half-deflated netballs as a barrier during the more intimate moments.

Jonathan explained the reason for this, while noting there was a lot less racy scenes in series two in comparison to series one.

Alison shouted to the crew: "Have we got a netball anyone? So we can get a demonstration," with the guest joking: "So we can do some pivots."

He then moved to get comfortable but Alison thought he was joining her to show her what he meant, with him then climbing on the sofa to pretend to give a demonstration.

It's then that Alison raced over to him shouting: "I'm ready," leaving him laughing as she asked what the steps were - as Dermot watched on with his face in his hands, telling Jonathan: "I'm really sorry!"

Jonathan was completely up for it though, as she asked for a demonstration and used cushions to form a barrier between them both.

He told her to use three cushions, as she protested: "I just wanna know," claiming there was no funny business at play as Dermot began shaking his head.

Jonathan then told her: "This is essentially a screen test... I think you're passing with flying colours. I'm knocked off my feet."

As they acted out a scene, Alison couldn't stop laughing as she demanded some script lines, before returning to her seat.

But it didn't stop there, and during the advert break she managed to convince the actor to dance with her Bridgerton-style.

When the show returned, she said they had full contact with no barriers, saying she was "all over him" as they aired the clip of her and Jonathan dancing around the studio.

While some fans were not impressed, many viewers said they loved the moment and how much Alison was fangirling over the guest.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "LOL @ Alison Hammond fangirling over lord viscount … tbh I would too, he’s lovely!"

Another said: "P***ing myself at Alison’s reaction to everything jonathan bailey is doing, because SAME GIRL."

A third added: "Alison Hammond is f***ing hilarious, absolute legend," as a fourth fan said: "Alison just makes me smile and laugh so much. She’s just so likeable."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
