Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary took to the famous cobbles on Friday (May 5) for a special rendition of This Morning. The co-hosts, who present the ITV morning programme together every Friday, were joined by the stars of Coronation Street to mark the coronation of King Charles.
Set in Manchester on the streets of the fictional Weatherfield set where the ITV soap is filmed, Alison and Dermot appeared at a street party amongst 100 guests including Corrie cast members Tina O’Brien, Jack P Shepherd and Bill Roache.

Alison Hammond looked stunning in blue on Friday as she and Dermot O'Leary headed to the cobbled Coronation Street set to present a special instalment of daytime show, This Morning. Filming the episode away from the studio to celebrate King Charles' Coronation, the presenter fittingly opted for a royal blue coat with trousers in a similar shade. Teaming the look with a white T-shirt, the 48-year-old TV star added a glamorous palette of make-up while leaving her dark locks to fall in a sleek style.
There are health fears and an affair close to being 'rumbled' on Coronation Street next week. It's no secret to viewers of the ITV soap that Sarah Barlow is playing with fire as she secretly flirts up a storm with Damon Hay behind her husband Adam's back.
