This Morning's Alison Hammond in stitches as she apologises for 'blocking' fans after awkward misunderstanding

This Morning host Alison Hammond was forced to apologise to her fans on Friday, June 9, after learning that the word GOAT had an alternative meaning to the name of an animal - leaving her in stitches.

The Brummie presenter returned to our screens with her co-star Dermot O'Leary today, taking over from Holly Willoughby and Craig Doyle - who'd been presenting with Willoughby since Wednesday - and while discussing the latest news headlines with regulars Nick Ferrari and Matthew Wright, they came upon a story in which a goat called Simbi is a contender for winning the record for having the world's biggest ears.
