This Morning's Alison Hammond announces break as she details exhaustion
This Morning star Alison Hammond appeared on the ITV show on Friday, where she opened up about taking a step back from one aspect of her career after being left 'exhausted'. On the recent episode of This Morning, TV personality Alison Hammond disclosed that she would be taking a hiatus from one element of her career. Chatting with Alexandra Burke and Lesley Joseph about their upcoming musical stint in The Addams Family, the host delved into how performing live can take its toll. Alexandra opened up about the intense schedule of touring, noting that performers can face eight to 12 shows weekly. She remarked: "You don't really get a life outside of it, but that's ok because you're entertaining other people." Lesley brought attention to Alison by saying: "We're looking at the panto Queen! Birmingham. Three panto Queens sitting on the sofa." To this, Alison confessed: "But the thing is, you've been doing it year after year. I'm having a year off because I was so exhausted from last year and the year before. It is a discipline." Lesley went on to express her love for the theatre and stressed the significance of pantomime in entertainment, reports Wales Online. She said: "The whole family comes and it's the one time in the year that anybody, grandma down to the youngest children can come and really love it. You know, you've done it now." Alison acknowledged this, reflecting on how the cast becomes akin to a secondary family due to the extensive time spent together. Previously, Alison impressed audiences as the Magical Mermaid in Peter Pan at Birmingham's Hippodrome Theatre, also sharing moments with This Morning viewers before gracing the stage. Wearing her costume, Alison shared her highlight of being in the play last year, at the time she said: "Do you remember last year when lovely Dermot (O'Leary) and the whole team brought me a wonderful chair with the plaque of my mum's name on it? "It's dead centre in the middle of the stage and literally, it's like I'm performing to my mum. It means the world to me, it's beautiful. It's lovely to be back. "I look at the person (in the seat, the person thinks I'm looking at them, I'm not! I'm seeing my mum!" Alison's mum, Maria, sadly died from lung and liver cancer in January 2020, and her father Clifford died just months later.

During Friday's instalment of the popular ITV show, Alison and co-host Dermot O'Leary, 52, received calls from viewers recounting their most embarrassing moments. The TV presenter recalled an incident from two years ago that left her red-faced. 'So I was walking down the street and a bus went past and I don't know what happened but my trousers literally fell down to the floor, they were too loose, and the whole bus literally laughing at me,' Alison recalled, giggling. Dermot looked baffled and asked: 'Are you joking?' 'I'm not joking,' Alison clarified as she cracked up laughing. 'A bus went past and your trousers fell down?!' Dermot exclaimed. Alison put her head in her hand and laughed, she continued: 'Yeah, they literally...' 'The wind of the bus?' Dermot said. 'No, it wasn't the wind, I think the trousers were getting a little bit loose and as I was walking the trousers dropped and the whole bus was literally laughing at me,' the presenter explained. 'Obviously, it was so shocking I didn't have enough time to go down, pick them up... It was literally the most embarrassing.'

The pair presented an episode of the much-loved programme and spoke about a range of different newsworthy topics and even some famous faces. After an advert break towards the end of the show, Alison and Paddy returned live from the studio to talk about what was left to enjoy. 'So I was walking down the street and a bus went past and I don't know what happened but my trousers literally fell down to the floor, they were too loose, and the whole bus literally laughing at me,' Alison recalled, giggling Giggling away to herself, Alison said to viewers: 'Welcome back!' Paddy couldn't contain his laughter and chimed in: 'We've got spuds waiting for us in the kitchen...' He then pointed at Alison and said: 'I've got to say, Alison just sprayed her face with something over there that's full of glitter. She didn't realise. 'Can you see it?' Alison confessed: 'I thought it was setting spray! I looked over there, I thought it was setting spray so I thought I'd setting spray myself. 'It's actually glitter!' Paddy said: 'Oh brilliant. I love that!' Alison started to pat her hair down and said: 'I sprayed myself with glitter! I'm so sorry.' Alison confessed: 'I thought it was setting spray! I looked over there, I thought it was setting spray so I thought I'd setting spray myself. It's actually glitter!' Paddy then changed the subject and said: 'We've got spuds waiting for us in the kitchen with Claudia next. 'But first, it's time to find out what those Loose Women are cooking up this lunch time...'
