Alison Hammond makes grand return to This Morning studios

She’s been keeping busy by hosting her hilarious segments from various locations in the West Midlands amid the coronavirus pandemic.

And Alison Hammond appeared over the moon as she finally returned to the This Morning studios in London for the first time in 15 weeks on Monday.

The presenter, 45, made a statement as she encouraged social distancing by wearing a kooky hat with two-metre poles, before downing a pint of beer.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield appeared in great spirits as they introduced their colleague to the programme.

TV veteran Phillip, 58, said: ‘We have been allowed to ease some restrictions’, before his co-host, 39, added: ‘That’s right, for the first time in 15 weeks, we’re finally allowed a guest in the studio. So we’ve invited the best, most entertaining woman we know.’ 

‘Sadly Beyonce wasn’t available so we settled for Alison Hammond’, the cheeky pair joked.

ITV star Holly detailed one disadvantage of the current social distancing guidelines, sharing: ‘I’ll tell you what, this is really hard because you give the best hugs. Every instinct in my body is just wanting to give you a hug right now!’

The former Big Brother star responded: ‘I know, let’s do a virtual one. It’s so good to see you right now!’

Alison put on a typically radiant display as she sported a floral print blouse and debuted her new hairdo.

Twirling around the kitchen, the actress said: ‘Yes I have been really good guys got my hair done. I am back! I wasn’t desperate [though].

‘I really got good at tonging and washing my own hair. Aiden [Alison’s 14-year-old son] is good, he’s had a lovely weekend, it’s lovely to see everyone. It’s so weird coming into the studio and seeing you guys.’ 

Later into the episode, Alison treated herself to an alcoholic beverage as Holly and Phil played Spin To Win.
