Alison Hammond has spoken out after This Morning co-host Dermot O'Leary called her a b**** live on air.
The shock moment came when Dermot and Alison returned to screens to fill in as full-time hosts on Monday (July 18) as part of the presenter schedule until Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield return in September.
Former Big Brother star Kate Lawler was hosting a competition link when Dermot, 49, surprised Alison, 47, with a video of the duo when they appeared in the Big Brother house together in 2002.

He said: "Let's have a quick look at you and Kate in this iconic moment in the Big Brother house."
The clip also featured footage of a fresh-faced Dermot presenting spin-off show Big Brother's Little Brother, which he fronted from 2001 until 2008.
Alison proceeded to playfully mock Dermot as she said: "Look at you with a bald head, you should so go back to that bald head. Why don't you shave your head? Look how fit you look."
She then further teased him adding: "You were so good on that show," and
Dermot then replied: "Just at that show?" to which Alison responded "Yeah."
Seeing the funny side Dermot then laughed as he raised his glass of water and said "such a b***h."
A shocked-looking Alison then said, "oops, apologies for that."
Dermot then added: "Oh sorry," as he moved on to read the next link while Alison tried to stem her laughter.
Viewers of the show found the moment hilarious, although some did take to Twitter to call for Dermot to be sacked.
Alison has subsequently shared a video of herself poking fun at the incident shortly before going back on-air with Dermot.
The clip shows her quoting Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada as she says: "And then when we get back to New York we need to contact Lesley to see what she can do to minimise the press on all this."
She then tagged Dermot and captioned the clip: "When you get called a b***h live on air."
