Alison Hammond has described the moment she confronted a thief who was attempting to steal her shopping bag, during Friday's episode of This Morning. The presenter, 49, was discussing the rise in shoplifting with co-host Dermot O'Leary when she recalled the alarming incident.
She explained that she had left her shopping bag in a trolley while looking at food, but a sudden instinct made her turn around. 'I turned around and someone had their hand in my bag!' she said. 'I was like: Not today, Satan!' The thief then walked away, and Alison confirmed they ran off after her unexpected reaction.
In a separate mishap on the same show, Alison was forced to spit out a chocolate-covered coffee bean live on air. Dermot, 50, had thrown the item into her mouth during a segment about baking, believing it to be a raisin.
Alison quickly realised it was not what she expected, exclaiming that it was 'horrible' and asking why she had been given it. Dermot apologised, saying he was 'absolutely mortified' by the mistake. This Morning continues on weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV X.
