Terzel is 29, whilst Wilson is 80. They married when Terzel was 26 and Wilson was 77.
When asked what it was about Wilson that made her fall for him, she said it was his “cool demeanour”.
“He was very confident and he knew what he wanted,” she said. “He was a gentleman as well.”
When Wilson and Terzel met, he told her he was 63!
What happened next on This Morning today?
When asked about how their families had reacted to their relationship, Terzel said her parents had been “happy” for her.
Terzel then said that the only thing that annoys her about Wilson is that he doesn’t know how to use Netflix.
Terzel then revealed that they don’t want to have children, which sparked Alison’s next cheeky question.
“And Terzel, is everything good in the bedroom?” Alison asked, causing Dermot to hang his head.
“Everything is good,” Wilson replied. “Many friends always ask that question and I always say I’m not going to talk about it.”
“But what I can say is, we have no problems,” he said.
“YES! Yes, Wilson!” Alison cheered as Wilson and Terzel laughed. As the call ended, Dermot turned to Alison, saying: “You had to go there, didn’t you?”
“Everyone wants to know,” Alison shrugged.
How did viewers react?
However, despite everyone involved seeing the funny side of Alison’s question, some viewers didn’t. They took to Twitter to slam the presenter.
“Wtf Alison,” one viewer wrote. “What business is that to any of us?”
“Noooooooo… don’t go there Alison,” another said.
“Really, Alison? Totally awful interview,” a third tweeted.
“Oh Alison, why ask them about the bedroom?” another asked.
Meanwhile, a couple of viewers branded the interview a “car crash”.
However, one viewer saw the funny side though.
“Alison is such a legend,” they laughed.
This Morning returns Monday, February 14 at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
