Dermot O'Leary was left looking mortified as he jokingly - and sarcastically - congratulated his co-host Alison Hammond on the rumours of her 'engagement' live on air on This Morning on Friday, Feburary 24 - which she was forced to awkwardly quash, revealing "I'm not engaged".
This news, which has been torn apart by Alison herself, comes just days after the father of her partner Ben Hawkins, exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail that the pair had 'proposed to one another' after two years of secretly dating.
As This Morning began, viewers heard as wedding bells played as Dermot said in jest: "I can't believe this but I hear a congratulations are in order, I can't believe you didn't tell us you were going to get married. This is amazing. I read it in the paper - I think I might have leaked it to the paper."
