This Morning host Alison Hammond looked horrified as she made a comment about Graham Norton’s late dog.
The presenter was interviewing Graham on Friday’s show alongside her new co-star Dermot O’Leary.
One of the first questions from Alison was whether Graham still has his dog, which he had to confirm his pooch was no longer alive.
What did Alison Hammond say on This Morning?
Alison told Graham: “I miss you, I love you. The last time I saw you you were with your dog out and about. Have you still got your dog?”

Graham replied: “Uh no… dead.”
Dermot put his face in his hands and awkwardly laughed as Alison – looking a bit embarrassed – said: “Oh, I’m gutted, I’m so sorry, I’m absolutely devastated.”
Dermot said: “As soon as you asked the question I thought, ‘well this is going to go one way or another.'”
Graham told Alison: “Sorry I’m being horrible to you.”
Viewers were left in hysterics at Alison’s poor blunder on Twitter.

Another death blunder
Meanwhile, later in the show, chef Clodagh McKenna accidentally made a comment about Dermot’s late Gran.
Making Irish stew, Clodagh and Dermot were discussing their families living in Ireland.
Clodagh said: “Your Gran is going to be watching… Is your Gran in Ireland?”
Dermot replied: “Hmm, in heaven…” to which Clodagh said: “Oh in heaven,” as she awkwardly laughed.
