Alison Hammond was left concerned by a Christmas scam warning issued on Wednesday's This Morning, admitting she could have been putting herself at risk of being targeted.
At the end of last week, the ITV show's main presenting duo Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby revealed they were taking a break for the festive season and, so far every day this week, it's been Alison and her usual Friday co-host Dermot O'Leary who have been at the helm.
The popular duo took the reins again on Wednesday for a bumper show that saw them test out the must have board games for Christmas, discussing the day's big news stories and be joined by X Factor judge Simon Cowell. Another studio guest for the latest This Morning was 'scam busting' expert Alexis Conran and, as he joined her and Dermot on set, Alison quickly remarked: "Isn't it sad that they take advantage at this time of year isn't it? You know, when we just want to spend money on our families. It's horrible that we're being taken advantage of at this time."
