This Morning host Alison Hammond had a heck of a night at the National Television Awards and on Friday morning's show, she struggled to pronounce Welsh-Italian chef, Michela Chiappa's last name leading to the inevitable giggling and a correction by This Morning co-host Dermot O'Leary.
Pronouncing Michela's surname with an extra Mc sound at the start, Alison said, on the October 14 edition: "Michela McChiappa is in the kitchen..." before Dermot took the mickey out of her pronunciation. He said: "Oh I love Michela McChiappa!" as he giggled.
Alison then told Dermot "it was a long night", referring to the National Television Awards the night before, while Dermot told her she always pronounced Michela's name wrong while laughing. Alison continued to struggle getting her tongue around Michela's surname, while both presenters giggled.
