Dermot O'Leary snapped at Alison Hammond and said she had gone 'too far' when she questioned what he was doing during the latest episode of This Morning. The pair were back at the helm of the ITV daytime show as usual on Friday (May 13).

The last episode of the week saw the hosts talking all things Eurovision, including Georgina Burnett showing us how to throw the ultimate Eurovision party as well as a performance from Katrina Leskanich of Katrina and the Waves fame. But before all that Alison and Dermot cracked on with the latest 'This Morning's View'.

After welcoming viewers back to the show following an ad break, the pair prepared to introduce their guest Holly Smith, aka the Coupon Queen, live in the studio to chat through the latest news headlines. However, Alison, 47, couldn’t help but notice her co-host, 48, moving around on the famous sofa beside her.
