This Morning was trying to impress the social media generation during the last episode of the week.
Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were reunited on Friday's edition of the show after the former X Factor star was replaced by Josie Gibson last week.
And the duo were tasked with learning a viral TikTok dance live on the show which wasn't too far out of Alison's comfort zone as she regularly shares TikTok videos to the popular app which now has over one billion users.

Alison and Dermot were joined by a TikTok dance expert and roped in show regular Gyles Brandreth to the segment following his appearance on the sofa alongside Nicola Thorp where they discussed the latest news headlines.
They had just a few minutes to learn the dance to the popular viral track Lean Wit It (Rock Wit It).
Prior to their live creation, Dermot revealed that he gets 'stressed' every Friday. But the TV star looked happy enough as he was seen busting some moves in This Morning's very own take on the Lean Wit It challenge.
"It just makes you happy, doesn't it? It just makes you happy," Alison said but Dermot quickly replied: "It just makes me stressed. Every Friday I come in and have serious stuff to do..."
Alison said: "You are so full of it, you literally go 'Alison, what are we doing, what are we doing?"
Dermot admitted: "Well, every now and again I might do that," as Alison replied: "You love it!"
The group then got stuck into making their own video with resident vet Dr Scott and beauty expert and journalist Ateh Jewel danced away themselves in another part of the studio.
But it's far to say the segment caused a divide among This Morning
