This Morning viewers have praised Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield for managing to keep a "straight face" on Thursday's This Morning after a woman appeared on the show claiming to have been dating an alien for over a year. Emanuela Rose, formerly known as Abbie Bela, claims she met her alien boyfriend, who communicates with her telepathically, when she was abducted by a UFO in London.
In an interview with the This Morning hosts, Emanuela was accompanied by an inflatable alien, a "placeholder" for her alien boyfriend Emanuel, The Daily Star reports. She said: "I should have been scared but I wasn't. Alien's don't have names, the way that we do, so I changed my name actually to match his".
Philip Schofield quizzed the interviewee further on her relationship, asking where her alien boyfriend had taken her on dates. "We’ve been on dates, he doesn’t really understand dates so it’s kind of like a rocky thing,” she began, "We go out. I can’t travel too far because my human body can’t really take far travel, like to his planet in the Andromeda galaxy, but we go to the cinema and stuff and he takes on a different form then obviously so people don’t see him.”
