Alison Hammond returned to This Morning today (Friday, November 28), having been away last week.
The star, 52, had been in Australia taking part in I’m A Celebrity spin-off, Unpacked, alongside Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers.
Alison Hammond returns to This Morning
The Birmingham-born star was welcomed back onto the show by her usual co-host, Dermot O’Leary, who asked her about her trip Down Under.
“I had a lovely time, absolutely obsessed with I’m A Celebrity and actually being there in the jungle adds a whole new level, meeting Ant and Dec!” she said.
“Do you know what? I wasn’t actually very well, I don’t know if you can hear, it’s still there?” she then asked. Dermot confessed she did sound “husky”.
“I got something on the plane, I don’t know, there was an eye infection!” she then continued.
“It’s good to be back!”
Alison on her time in Oz
Later in the show, Alison admitted that she was still suffering from jet lag from her trip abroad.
“Do you know what, I am struggling to get to sleep, and then I want to sleep longer in the morning, is that jet lag?
“I’m still in Australian time!”
Taking to Instagram, Alison shared some snaps of herself in Oz with the Unpacked crew. The star shared some pictures of herself with Melvin Odoom, Leigh Francis, and Seann Lock, as well as a couple of snaps of her outfit, and one of the view at sunset.
“A wonderful week of jungle fun! Thanks for having me @imacelebrity. It was exactly what I needed: sun, sea, and jungle fun,” she captioned the post.
Alison and Dermot slammed over Bushtucker Trial segment
Earlier this month, before I’m A Celebrity kicked off, Alison and Dermot gave a Bushtucker Trial a go on This Morning.
The trial consisted of Alison and Dermot putting their hands in boxes full of bugs and guessing what was in there.
As you can imagine, the whole thing descended into chaos, with lots of screaming.
However, fans were not impressed.
“All put on. So fake. Absolutely embarrassing TV,” one viewer fumed.
“This is horrendous. I hope what is in the tank bites her,” another said.
“Oh Alison, drama queen much??” a third wrote.
This Morning airs on weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.
