Fans of This Morning were quick to react online as Alison Hammond, co-host of the Friday slot alongside Dermot O’Leary, sparked frustration within seconds of the show’s start. Viewers flooded social media, pleading for her to tone down her loud interruptions and nonstop chatter.
During the episode, Alison joined ITV stars Ben and Cat in a playful segment with MC Grammar, who asked them to rap the children’s book Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. However, her energetic approach and frequent overtalking drew sharp criticism. One viewer wrote, “Why is Alison shouting already?” while another joked, “The house is practically shaking from all that noise!” Others bluntly demanded, “Please just stop!”
Fans noted that Alison often cuts off guests mid-answer or ignores responses, with her constant laughter and interruptions labeled “infuriating” by many. Comments like “Cut the cackling, Alison” appeared repeatedly.
The tension isn’t isolated—previous moments on the show have also left audiences cringing, including awkward exchanges with co-host Cat Deeley and controversial on-air compliments that sparked discussions about double standards.
Despite the backlash, Alison and Dermot carried on with the show, covering a variety of topics, including MC Grammar’s attempt at a world record. Yet for some viewers, the noise and chaotic energy of the presenting duo overshadowed the entire segment, leaving them desperate for a calmer broadcast.
