Awkward TV Moment: Hammond Cuts Off O'Leary

This Morning hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond found themselves in an awkward live television moment on Friday. The presenters, known for their rapport, had a minor disagreement while discussing Black Friday sales, particularly concerning 'white goods'. O'Leary's comments about people being 'suckers' for Black Friday deals were met with a request from Hammond to let her finish speaking.

The on-air friction between O'Leary and Hammond occurred shortly after a separate incident on the same show involving guest Peter Kay. Kay humorously called out co-host Cat Deeley for her frequent interjections of 'yeah' while he was listing charities benefiting from his tour. This has been a recurring observation by viewers regarding Deeley's interviewing style.

While the interaction between O'Leary and Hammond was brief, it added to a week of notable on-air moments on This Morning. It underscores the unpredictable nature of live broadcasting and the established yet dynamic relationships between its presenters and guests.
