This Morning viewers notice moment Idris Elba gets 'annoyed' in Alison Hammond interview

This Morning viewers noticed Idris Elba become visibly "annoyed" during his interview with Alison Hammond.

The actor spoke with Alison to discuss his latest Hollywood blockbuster, Luther. The pair reflected on their previous interaction which saw them gifting one another t-shirts, but their conversation this time around was less affectionate.

Alison claimed the film is more intimidating than viewers may expect but attempted to lighten the interview by discussing things such as his character's coat.

The line of questioning took a sharp turn after she asked whether or not it was thoroughly cleaned. She said: "That coat has been following Luther, does it get a dry clean?"

Idris looked visibly confused by the question before offering a lax response. He said: "What? No, no, no. There's probably a couple of coats and some with more DNA and blood on it than the others but we just dust it off and keep moving."

Alison asked if the coat "stank", prompting another unenthusiastic response from the actor who said: "No, babe. Luther's coat does not stink."

The This Morning presenter then caused a knee-jerk reaction from Idris after suggesting his wardrobe needed a makeover, claiming it "looks old." The actor shot back and said: "It doesn't look old! It's just lived in."

Viewers noticed the awkward exchange, claiming Idris became visibly more annoyed as time went by. One fan said: "Oh dear, Idris wasn't making it easy for Alison in that interview."

Another added: "Was Idris getting a bit annoyed with Alison or was it my imagination…?" While a third said: "Quick somebody give Alison another award for that amazing interview."

Alison tried to keep the light-hearted mood afloat by joking she brought the flowers on the table specifically for Idris but he shot her down again, stating they were there before she arrived. She turned the conversation back to the movie before eventually wrapping up the interview.
