Dermot O’Leary’s habit on This Morning today
Today’s edition of This Morning saw Dermot get on some viewers’ last nerve.
During one segment of the show, Alison Hammond and Dermot took a look at some of the advent calendars on offer this Christmas.
One of the advent calendars in question contained pork scratchings, and Dermot seemed to be a big fan of them.
The pork scratching calendar contains six different flavoured pork scratchings and is available for just £14.99.
“I love that,” Alison said.
“If you thought pork scratching was the greatest invention of all time, it isn’t. It’s the second greatest invention of all time,” Dermot said, picking the advent calendar up.
“The greatest invention of all time is the Pork Crackling advent calendar!” he cried, throwing pork scratchings to the crew.
Dermot was told to save them for later but he didn’t listen as he continued to throw pork scratchings and munch on them.
“Don’t give them all away!” Alison scolded him.
Throughout the rest of the segment, Dermot could be heard munching on his pork scratchings.

“SHUT UP crackling and crunching Dermot,” one viewer moaned.
“Oh shut up Dermot,” another said.
“He’s eating it all now. Stop it Dermot. I can even hear him crunching over her speaking,” a third wrote.
Meanwhile, another tweeted: “I don’t want to hear your disgusting eating noises down the mic, thanks!”
