Alison Hammond Shares Update After Leaving This Morning Studio Mid-Broadcast

Posted on 02/10/2026 by Boris Clair

Alison Hammond has assured fans that she’s doing well after abruptly leaving Friday’s edition of This Morning mid-show.

During the live broadcast, Alison sparked concern when she was seen walking off camera clutching her chest and panting, and did not return.

Fortunately, she shared an update with her Instagram followers that afternoon, revealing she was getting checked over by doctors after what she described as a “little bit of a palpitation”.

“I know you’re all worried about me,” she began in a post on her story. “Honestly, I am fine, first of all – but I’m getting my old ticker checked out. I had a little bit of a palpation, and now, I’m getting it all checked out.

“But I think I’m OK – I’m hoping it was just a little panic attack or something like that.”

The Great British Bake Off host went on to say: “I love you all, thank you for all your lovely messages.

“I’m so sorry I left you – I would never normally do that, I would never leave a TV show, so you know I wasn’t very well. But hopefully I’m going to be alright. The doctors are so lovely and they’re checking me out, and hopefully everything’s going to be fine.”

She then quipped: “Well, everything is fine, look! I’m rocking it! Look how good I look! I’ve still got my makeup on from This Morning. Lush!”

Alison signed off her message by telling her fans “love you, babs!”, joking in the caption: “Anything to have a day off.”

After an abrupt ad break, Alison’s regular co-host Dermot O’Leary told This Morning viewers: “Ali’s feeling just a little unwell, so she’s had to duck out. Hopefully, she’ll be back in a sec.”

Dermot and Alison have hosted the ITV daytime show together on Fridays and during school holidays since 2020.

Rylan Clark’s Immigration Comments On This Morning Spark Wave Of Ofcom Complaints

Posted on 04/09/2025 by Boris Clair

TV watchdog Ofcom has announced it has received hundreds of complaints over controversial comments made by Rylan Clark on This Morning last week.

While guest presenting the ITV daytime show towards the end of August, Rylan chaired a debate during which he wrongly claimed that asylum seekers entering the UK are given free phones and iPads and put up at luxury hotels.

He said: “This country is built on immigration – legal immigration. You know, a lot of the nurses and the doctors that have saved my mum’s life have come over here from other countries, are living a great life, they’re paying into this tax system and they’re helping this country thrive.”

The former X Factor contestant then continued: “I find it absolutely insane that all these people are risking their lives coming across the Channel like they are, and when they get here, it does seem – and I think this is why a lot of Labour voters as well are now sitting there going, ‘there’s something wrong here’ – it seems, ‘welcome, come on in’.”

He went on to claim that the “narrative we’re being fed” is “here’s the hotel, here’s the phone, here’s the iPad, here’s the NHS in reception of your hotel, here’s three meals a day, here’s a games room in the hotel, have a lovely time, welcome”.

“And then, there’s people that have lived here all their lives, that are struggling,” he added. “Our homeless, let’s not even discuss our homeless, there are people living on the streets, veterans, all of this.

“Now, this isn’t me getting on my soapbox because, let me be honest, everyone’s going to have an opinion about this and you’re going to upset someone some which way, but I believe that something major needs to be done about this.

“The money that it’s costing us, the amount of people that are in this country that we have no idea who they are, what they’ve done, what they’re capable of, and clearly, we see a lot of it in the press at the moment, some of what some are doing – not all – to people in this country… how can, if I turn up at Heathrow airport, if I turn up as a British citizen and I’ve left my passport in Spain, I’ve got to stand at that airport and won’t be let in… but if I arrive on a boat [from] Calais, I get taken to a four-star hotel?”

This is where the country goes to the dogs.

Rylan is allowed to say plainly untrue statements on a national news show with literally no pushback.

As Rylan’s comments became more widely shared online, he was criticised by many from critics accusing him of parroting rhetoric popularised by Nigel arage and his Reform party, sharing mistruths about those seeking asylum in the UK and not being fully educated on the sensitive subject he was discussing.

On Wednesday, Ofcom disclosed that it had received 576 complaints over Rylan’s remarks, which will be assessed before the media regulator decides to take the matter any further, as is standard procedure.

Posting on X hours after his comments aired, Rylan wrote: “You can be pro immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans people and have the utmost respect for women. You can be heterosexual and still support gay rights. The list continues.

“Stop with this putting everyone in a box exercise and maybe have conversations instead of shouting on Twitter.”

Rylan Clark Responds To Backlash Over This Morning Immigration Comments

Posted on 28/08/2025 by Boris Clair

Rylan Clark has responded to the criticism he’s faced since his comments about immigration on Wednesday’s edition of This Morning.

The former X Factor star wrongly claimed that asylum seekers entering the UK are each given free phones and iPads and put up on “four star” hotels.

He has been guest hosting This Morning all week alongside Josie Gibson, and during the most recent broadcast, chaired a discussion about the day’s headlines with former Apprentice winner Tim Armstrong and GB News presenter Camilla Tominey.

When the conversation turned to immigration, and Nigel Farage’s polarising “mass deportation” plan, Rylan wound up facing a widespread controversy with his comments on the matter.

He began: “This country is built on immigration – legal immigration. You know, a lot of the nurses and the doctors that have saved my mum’s life have come over here from other countries, are living a great life, they’re paying into this tax system and they’re helping this country thrive.”

Rylan continued: “I find it absolutely insane that all these people are risking their lives coming across the Channel like they are, and when they get here, it does seem – and I think this is why a lot of Labour voters as well are now sitting there going, ‘there’s something wrong here’ – it seems, ‘welcome, come on in’.

“This is the narrative we’re being fed. ‘Here’s the hotel, here’s the phone, here’s the iPad, here’s the NHS in reception of your hotel, here’s three meals a day, here’s a games room in the hotel, have a lovely time, welcome’. And then there’s people that have lived here all their lives, that are struggling. Our homeless, let’s not even discuss our homeless, there are people living on the streets, veterans, all of this.

This is where the country goes to the dogs.

As Rylan’s comments became more widespread, he faced further backlash from critics on social media accusing him of parroting rhetoric popularised by Farage and his political party Reform, sharing mistruths about those seeking asylum in the UK and not being fully educated on the sensitive subject he was discussing.

Among those supporting him on social media was far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Posting on X later that day, Rylan wrote: “You can be pro immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans people and have the utmost respect for women. You can be heterosexual and still support gay rights. The list continues.

HuffPost UK has contacted This Morning for comment.

While primarily known as the host of reality shows like Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two and Dating Naked, Rylan has become something of an unlikely political commentator in recent years, perhaps most notably contributing to Channel 4’s election night coverage in 2019, and appearing as a panellist on Have I Got News For You two years later.

Responding to “snobby-arsed critics” who felt he was unqualified to comment on politics in 2019, he told The Big Issue: “I was a 30-year-old man who’s not in politics and I’m the sort of person you should be tapping into. With all due respect, the audience that I’ve got might not necessarily understand Brexit or what’s going on in parliament.

“When I explain stuff on Twitter in layman’s terms people message me and go ‘Thanks for doing that, I didn’t really understand what WTO meant or what the Northern Irish backstop involved’. You can take the piss out of me all you want, but I’m probably informing the people who follow me more than you’re informing people.”

10 Ryan Gosling Moments That Made Us Love The Barbie Star Even More

Posted on 20/08/2023 by Boris Clair

Can you feel the Kenergy? Thanks to a frankly scene-stealing turn as Barbie’s existential crisis-ridden, beach-loving boyfriend in Greta Gerwig’s billion dollar movie, Ryan Gosling has once again proved that he’s one of the most versatile film stars around right now.

Heartbreaking leading man? Tap-dancing musical performer? Oscar-nominated indie star? A plastic doll who is convinced the patriarchy is all about riding horses (this one probably makes more sense if you’ve seen Barbie, which we implore you to do if you haven’t already)? The man can do it all.

And when it comes to hitting the red carpet, the chat show circuit or awards shows, he never seems to take himself (or his fame) too seriously.

Here are just some of our favourite Ryan Gosling moments…

If you’re ever in need of an instant pick-me-up, may I direct you to Alison Hammond’s legendary This Morning interview with Ryan and his Blade Runner 2049 co-star Harrison Ford?

Alison set the tone by admitting she’s never seen the original Blade Runner movie and then describing her interviewing technique as “bleak, dystopian, [and] an absolute nightmare to be honest with you”, before the whole thing got progressively more chaotic, with Ryan pouring out a miniature whiskey, collapsing into giggles and pretending to walk off camera in outrage.

2. When he organised a Ken flashmob for Greta Gerwig’s birthday

What better way to celebrate a milestone birthday and a huge box office success than with a themed flashmob, tbh?

When Barbie director Greta Gerwig turned 40 earlier this month, Ryan marked the occasion by sending a group of dancing Kens to turn up at her Pilates class to throw shapes to his song I’m Just Ken, who were later joined by a squad of Barbies to perform a routine to Dance The Night, another favourite from the film’s soundtrack.

By the end of this extravaganza, which was captured on film and shared on the Barbie movie’s Instagram account, Greta seems to be crying happy tears, and we don’t blame her one bit.

3. When he took his Kenergy to the Barbie red carpet

Any one of Ryan’s red carpet appearances during the Barbie press tour would be deserving of a spot on this list, like when he told reporters how to best channel their Kenergy and reminded them they are, in fact, “Kenough”.

But if we had to pick a favourite, it would be this run-in with reporter Amelia Dimoldenberg, who asked Ryan about the best way to find a Ken of her own. He then advised her to drop something, suggesting that a true Ken will pick it up before quickly moving on so as not to invade your space – which inevitably lead to Amelia dropping her notecards.

Proving he’s a true Ken at heart, he picked them up, saying: ‘Here, you dropped this’, before walking off.

4. When he paid tribute to Eva Mendes in his Golden Globes speech…

After picking up the Golden Globe trophy for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in La La Land back in 2017, Ryan used his winner’s speech to shout out his partner Eva Mendes.

“I’d like to try and thank one person properly, and to say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,” he said. “If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today.”

5. And at the Barbie premiere

Ryan Gosling on the Barbie world premiere red carpet

OK, we said we’d only pick one Barbie red carpet moment, but this one is too sweet to skip over.

Ryan and Eva rarely attend high-profile events together, but at the film’s LA premiere, he found a way to pay tribute to his wife through his outfit, accessorising his pink suit with a chain necklace featuring a letter ‘E’ pendant (in the iconic Barbie font, of course).

To be perfectly honest, sometimes the celebrity chat show circuit can get a little bit boring, with the same old backslapping between the host and the guests, the same softball questions and the same old relatable anecdotes being trotted out again and again. So when a star decides to do something a little bit different with their ten minutes on the chat show sofa, we’re all for it, like when Ryan decided to bring his dog George along to film an appearance on The Jimmy Fallon Show back in 2011.

“He’s more interesting than I am, so I just thought it would be helpful,” he said at the time.

We’ve seen Ryan’s love of dogs. So now it’s time to appreciate… Ryan stepping in to mediate between some puppies.

When he and Barbie co-star Margot Robbie sat down to film a Q&A with Buzzfeed, accompanied by a gang of extremely tiny, extremely adorable puppies, Ryan ended up getting sidetracked when he noticed that one dog in particular kept getting caught up in scraps with his fellow dogs.

Seeing Ryan very politely remonstrating with the puppy in question, calling him “my dude”, is something we didn’t know we needed.

Back in the day, Ryan was an all-singing, all-dancing, metallic Hammer-pants wearing child star – a fact that talk show hosts just love to remind him of, as it gives them a good excuse to pull some video evidence from the archive.

And so during a 2017 appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Ryan was a pretty good sport when Graham’s producers dug out a clip showing him dancing to Cathy Dennis’s Touch Me, the only male performer in an otherwise all-girl troupe.

“They let me dance there for free because I was a guy, because if you had a guy, you would win,” he explained.

How old was he at the time of the performance? “Old enough to know better,” he sighed.

We’d heard him sing on The Mickey Mouse Club as a kid, and during his role as jazz pianist Sebastian in La La Land, but surely Ryan’s most groundbreaking contribution to the world of music came when he recorded I’m Just Ken.

The simultaneously hysterical and heartbreaking 80s-stye power ballad that crops up during the third act of the Barbie movie, and features the immortal rhyming couplet “I’m just Ken / Anywhere else I’d be a 10”, capturing the pathos of being Barbie’s essentially superfluous boyfriend.

We don’t know whether to laugh or cry when we hear it – although seeing Ryan emoting while wearing that ridiculous fur coat and headband combo nudges us towards the former.

Ryan proves his low-key comedy genius in this Saturday Night Live sketch, in which he plays a man tortured by a great cinematic mystery of the modern age: why did Avatar director James Cameron use Papyrus font for the logo of his multi-billion dollar movie?

“He just highlighted Avatar, he clicked the drop-down menu and then he just randomly selected Papyrus, like a thoughtless child,” Ryan’s character tells his therapist (played by his future Barbie co-star Kate McKinnon) as he tries to get to the heart of his obsession. “Was it laziness, was it cruelty?” he asks, pondering Cameron’s motivation, before exploding into an Oscar clip-worthy meltdown when a well-meaning friend tells him that the film’s team “clearly modified” the original typeface.

“Whatever they did, it wasn’t enough,” he fumes. There’s also shades of self-pitying I’m Just Ken-energy at play here, which just makes it funnier.
