Alison Hammond was forced to wear glasses on This Morning after suffering an awkward blunder with the autocue.The TV presenter was filling in for regular presenter Holly Willoughby as she continues to recover from Covid, and was hosting alongside Phillip Schofield. But as the show started on Thursday morning, Alison, 47, felt the need to explain to viewers why she looked different to normal. Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, the Birmingham-born star joked to the audience that they weren't "seeing double".
"I've actually got my glasses on," she explained. "Because I couldn't see the autocue today. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
"I don't know what's the matter with me, so I thought I'd let you know." Phillip, 59, turned to face his co-host and suggested they make some changes to the studio set-up. While the camera normally stays in the same place at ITV Studios, Alison was struggling to read the autocue for a change. "Do you want it to come a bit closer?" Phil asked, as Alison giggled it was fine and she'd cope.
Finding the whole thing funny, Phil persisted as he ordered the cameraman to "creep right in there". "No because now they're going to see all our wrinkles!" Alison panicked with a laugh, before finally admitting the close-up filming was actually "much better". "Come right in, come on, in you go," Phil teased, as Alison once more urged the crew not to film too close.
As the joking subsided, Alison went on with the segment as she told viewers "welcome back" to the show. Become an OK! VIP and see all our exclusives - for free! Become an OK! VIP and you will unlock access to all of our big exclusives... Be the first to meet the latest
