Just be cool, Alison

Singer and undisputed Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey accused Alison Hammond of “mocking” her in a hilariously awkward interview on This Morning.

On Thursday’s episode of the popular daytime programme, the bubbly presenter got to meet the All I Want For Christmas hitmaker and talk about the festive period.

After the pair sat chatting as they got creative and made their own Christmas cards, Alison said to Mariah: “Obviously, you’re very good at writing Christmas songs. I was just wondering if I could run my tune past you and…”

You don’t have to look at me because it’s a bit intimidating.

“I would have you keep it to yourself,” Mariah replied.

Alison burst out laughing but pressed on: “Do you know what? I’m going to go for it anyway because it’s not finished. You don’t have to look at me because it’s a bit intimidating.”

The host then closed her eyes and proceeded to warble the words ‘Merry Christmas’ over and over as she clicked her fingers and swayed to the slow beat.

When it was over, Mariah demanded after a brief silence: “Are you mocking me?”

“No!” Alison told her, shocked.

Mariah said: “Are you mocking me, Alison!? After I made you this card and everything?”

Relenting, Mariah admitted: “It’s fabulous. Maybe add a little ‘To youuu’ at the end of it.”
