Alison Hammond joked she could “die” on This Morning before submerging herself into a freezing cold lake.
On Monday’s show (November 29), the presenter spoke to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield from Jeris in Lapland.
However, the competition segment soon took a chilly turn for Alison.

During the segment, Alison explained that she was “completely frozen” as she introduced the competition.
She said: “It’s minus 18 degrees. My nose hair is completely frozen, but I’m having a lovely time.
“I may at the end of the show go for a swim. I say may because that gives me an option out.”

Holly responded: “If you’ve got the opportunity to swim in the Arctic circle, you should just do it!”
Phillip then went on to reveal that he had previously tackled something similar.
Alison added: “This could be a first…. Alison dies live on air!”

Despite some initial fears, Alison went on to take a dip in the freezing water.
Later on, she shared: “Holly and Phil that was one of the biggest highlights of my life!”
What else has Alison been up to?
Meanwhile, Alison recently opened up about her future on the show.
The star appears on This Morning every Friday alongside Dermot O’Leary.

However, Alison has no intention of taking over from main hosts Holly and Phillip.
Speaking to Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 show last week, she said: “Let me just say, you know what, I don’t think Holly and Phillip should go anywhere first of all.

“And I don’t think I would replace them.”
Alison continued: “And I’ll tell you the reason, mainly because I live in Birmingham, it would be too much to go every single day. I think it’s a lot what I do anyway.”
