ITV viewers couldn’t believe it as This Morning host Dermot O’Leary called co-presenter Alison Hammond a “b***h” live on air today (July 18).
The comment came as the pair laughed their way through a segment about their TV appearances back in the day.
Alison’s star turn on Big Brother was shown, before Dermot was seen on screen presenting its spin-off show Little Brother.
This Morning host Dermot’s shock comment
As Alison introduced the clip of Dermot, she declared that he looked “fit” and was “so good” on that show.
“You looked hot back in the day, you should so go back to a bald head,” she said.

“Why don’t you shave your head off? Look at how fit you look!” she quipped.
Alison then added: “You were so good on that show.”
“Just that show?” he asked her.
Oh. Apologies for that language.
“Yeah, just that one. Only joking,” she laughed.
Dermot then raised his glass of water to the camera and quipped: “Such a [bleep].”
“Oh,” said Alison, before adding: “Apologies for that language.”
“Sorry about that,” Dermot said, as the pair descended into fits of giggles.
