Alison Hammond was left “worried” on This Morning today after Dermot O’Leary suffered a health scare.
The beloved presenters returned to screens on Wednesday (July 24) for a brand new episode. It was Dermot’s first episode back since Joel Dommett stepped in to replace him earlier this week.
However, things took a ‘worrying’ turn later on in the show – causing Alison to address the viewers at home.
This Morning today
On This Morning today, Alison and Dermot spoke to a doctor about how to keep your blood pressure in check.
Alison revealed she had her blood pressure taken before the show went to air. She said: “It was 120 over 70. Is that any good?”
The doctor replied: “That’s excellent, it’s much better than mine.” Fishing for compliments, Alison quipped: “Is like an athlete?” to which the doctor agreed as she giggled.
Dermot on This Morning
Up next, it was Dermot, but it appeared he wasn’t too keen. “I don’t want to do mine now,” Dermot said, as the doctor moved to check his blood pressure.
The doctor then revealed Dermot’s blood pressure was 162 over 92 – which according to the expert was “high”.
Later on, and after an ad break, Alison and Dermot were still chatting about the latter’s high blood pressure.
“Shut up! It came right down,” Dermot proclaimed, as Alison asked: “Do you want me to get you a chair while we do this link?”
Alison went and got a chair for Dermot so he could sit down. Alison said: “I want to make sure you’re alright because you are getting on a little bit now.”
Dermot quipped: “Can’t imagine where my stress is coming from…”
Alison ‘actually worried’ about Dermot on This Morning today
Alison then turned to the camera and told viewers: “Just so you know, we were actually worried so we did another blood test…”
However, Dermot cut in and said: “It wasn’t a blood test!” Clearing things up, Alison replied: “Blood pressure test.”
She continued: “While mine was 120 over 70, which is like an athlete, yours went down 20 so to 145 which is still a little bit high.
“But don’t worry you’ll be okay, I’ll look after you. I feel like a carer!”
