Alison Hammond has opened up about a family member's ongoing health battle as she revealed she has been in and out of hospital to visit her unwell niece.
The This Morning host was discussing the day's news alongside Dermot O'Leary and Carol Vorderman, including the results of a recent survey which revealed that one in three NHS staff members would be unhappy to have their relatives treated in the same hospital where they work. Carol was the first to admit that she was "really shocked" by the findings, while Alison described them as "really worrying".
Carol said of NHS staff: "I think they’re very tired. These people have been through a trauma and then we've had the strikes. They're exhausted. They're on their knees."
