This Morning today: Alison Hammond suffers blunder

On today’s This Morning, Alison and Dermot chatted to the Silver Swans – a dance group specially for seniors. And, as expected, Alison and Dermot got roped into performing a routine.

Dressed in a tutu and ballet shoes, Alison got to work with the help of an instructor and the Silver Swans dancers. However, Alison suffered a mishap midway through the routine.

Alison Hammond ‘can’t get back up’

The telly favourite ended up on all fours before the instructor had to help her back up.

“I can’t get back up now… I’ve got dizzy,” Alison said, laughing about the incident. Meanwhile, co-host Dermot watched on rather unimpressed.

I can’t get back up now… I’ve got dizzy.

Fans were left in stitches over Alison’s blunder. On X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: “I loved the swan ballet dancers class just now! Bless them!” Someone else added: “You just can’t stop @AlisonHammond pirouetting.” Another chuckled: “To be fair, I’d be just like Alison!”
