Alison Hammond had a comical mishap on Thursday's episode of This Morning as she explored Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm. The 48-year-old presenter attempted to walk across a mound of hay towards farmhand Kaleb Cooper, but fell through the centre, ending up with a mouth full of hay.
Before the faceplant, Hammond was chased by a large cow in a locked field. Screaming, she shouted, 'Babes, babes why is this one following me?' as the cow slowly trailed her to the gate.
Viewers took to Twitter to express concerns about Hammond's suitability as the new host of For The Love Of Dogs, replacing the late Paul O'Grady. One wrote: 'I can assume that For the Love of Dogs will be all about Alison getting a dog and not actually about the dogs that need help.' Another commented on her outfit, saying: 'Alison in the countryside mud and cow poo wearing false eyelashes.'
Hammond will begin filming the six-part series soon at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. She said: 'I am very aware that I can never replace the iconic Paul in this wonderful series, but if I can continue to shine a light on the brilliant work done at Battersea... it will be an absolute privilege.'
