This Morning's Dermot O'Leary in sweary slip-up with Alison Hammond
Alison was caught off guard...
Alison Hammond was forced to apologise to viewers during Monday’s This Morning after co-host Dermot O’Leary made a sweary blunder on air.
With regular presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on their annual summer break, Alison and Dermot are currently hosting the ITV daytime show.
Near the beginning of Monday’s show (18th July), Alison had a reunion with former Big Brother housemate Kate Lawler as she presented the show’s latest competition.
But things quickly unravelled as Dermot surprised Alison with a throwback clip, telling her: "Let's have a quick look at you and Kate in this iconic moment in the Big Brother house."
This Morning then showed footage of Dermot presenting spin-off show Big Brother’s Little Brother, which he hosted from 2001 to 2008.

And Alison was quick to comment on how good-looking Dermot was back then.
She asked her co-host: “How do you feel when you see yourself back then? You were so young!"
Dermot said: “Ah, I loved my time on the show," to which Alison replied: “You were so good on that show.”
“Just on that one,” he said, as she teased: “Yeah, just that one.”
Dermot picked up his glass to take a drink before he turned to the camera and said: “Such a b***h.”
Alison looked stunned and cried: “Ooh.”
The pair then quickly apologised for the language on daytime television, before moving on to another segment.
Fans were left shocked and amused by Dermot's language, with one tweeting: "I’m screaming at Alison trying to keep a straight face after Dermot called her a b***h live on air."
Another said: "Dermot saying 'such a b***h' and Alison trying to not laugh is getting me through the heatwave."
