Alison Hammond nearly arrested LIVE on This Morningš±
She is the gift that keeps on giving
Alison Hammond is a daytime ICON, from falling into a man and accidentally pushing him in a lake, to getting her cardigan stuck on a door handle - all LIVE on TV! But her latest accident has had viewers left in stitches after she was nearly ARRESTED by Italian police for filming close to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The presenter, who is currently filming on a Disney cruise ship with Joe Swash for the award-winning programme, was attempting to let viewers know the prize information when a policewoman stood infront of the camera.
It was at this point Alison exclaimed 'OMG, we haven't got a filming permit. Listen guys, we're in Pisa, we're not allowed to film here but listen there's a great, great competition'. Honestly, you couldn't write it.
The cameraman was then sent away, behind a gate, whilst Alison went over to the police to try and rectify the situation by shouting, 'I'm so sorry. Bonjourno'.
During all of this, the show's hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were watching on, shocked at what was happenning infront of them and the rest of the nation.
Fans took to Twitter to share their laughter, with one user writing, ''Ahahaha an icon. Holly and Phil's reaction' whilst another said, 'How can she say ON air she doesn't have a permit'. Another added, 'The best bit about this is that she tried to reason with the police by attempting to speak their language. Alison you legend'. sic.
