Christine Lampard halts Lorraine as fans baffled by Alison Hammond remark
Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary have been filling in for regular hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley as they enjoy some time off.
Alison Hammond pronounces eczema incorrectly
ITV viewers have been left baffled after Alison Hammond pronounced the word eczema in an odd way while speaking about what was coming up on This Morning today.
During Lorraine, guest host Christine Lampard spoke to Alison and Dermot O'Leary about what fans could expect from Thursday's instalment of the show.
Alison, 49, said: "We've got Amy Aston, she's sharing her terrifying eczema ordeal, we're gonna be talking about that a little later on." Viewers were stumped by the Great British Bake Off host's way of saying eczema and rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.
One confused social media user said: "Did Alison just pronounce it as exzeema? Err, what? #thismorning," while somebody else agreed: "Just about to post the same!!! Has she never heard of eczema."
Another perplexed viewer wrote: "Two things...'exzeema'? And fashion at 50 - great. I'll be reaching that at the end of 2024... but I'm not entirely grey! Hope all the models aren't grey (although she looks fab) and clearly OVER 50. #thismorning."

Yet another ITV viewer penned: "Did you mean eczema??? Ffs producers teach your ex reality tv ‘presenters’ to PRONOUNCE BASIC ENGLISH words properly. It makes your aweful show look embarrassing and your presenters even more stupid than they are..." (sic)
A fifth said: "Exzeema? #ThisMorning #Lorraine," while a sixth added: "Exeema ? Is Allison ok #thisMorning." (sic)
Alison returned to This Morning on Monday as she reunited with Dermot after a month-long break from the show.
The pair have been filling in for regular hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley as they take time off for the Easter school holidays.
