What happened on This Morning?

Tuesday’s edition of This Morning saw Alison Hammond and Dermot welcome Giuseppe Dell’Anno onto the show.

Giuseppe won the Great British Bake Off back in 2021. The Italian baker was on the show today to whip up a clementine upside-down cake for the presenters during the cooking segment.

Dermot seemed to be very interested in Giuseppe’s baking. However, fans weren’t happy with his behaviour, with many accusing the presenter of repeatedly interrupting his guest.
