Alison Hammond's BAFTAs prep – glam squad to dressing room snacks

Alison Hammond has spoken of how her niece is being treated in hospital - praising the “absolutely amazing” NHS staff caring for her. The TV presenter shared the news about Jasmine on This Morning on Friday as she appeared alongside co-host Dermot O'Leary , Carol Vorderman and LBC broadcaster Nick Ferrari. The stars were discussing a lack of trust in the NHS, when Alison stepped in to say she had been "back and forth" to the hospital to see her niece.

Alison Hammond appeared slightly horrified when she arrived home to a package containing a severed foot - sort of. The This Morning host appeared to have been out at work with Rylan Clark and Sir Steve Redgrave as they did some filming for Comic Relief, which takes place next Friday (March 17).

This Morning fans were left completely distracted as Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were joined by not one but three classic X Factor stars. The ITV daytime show's hosting duo have previously been joined by former Big Brother stars and on Friday (February 24) they continued with their nostalgic look back at some of the people from the UK's biggest TV shows.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International BAFTAs awards producer Nick Bullen believes Twitter criticism of Ariana DeBose’s opening number at Sunday’s awards show was “incredibly unfair.” Speaking to Variety the morning after the telecast, the producer — who was backstage during the London awards ceremony honoring the best movies of the year — shared that the “West Side Story” star “put the whole piece together” with her team, working closely with a musical director and choreographer, and didn’t deserve the vitriol.
