THIS Morning’s Dermot O’Leary joked there’s no trust between him and Alison Hammond after she pulled a sneaky move on today’s This Morning.
The pair sat down to tuck into an authentic Italian pizza from a Gino D’Acampo recipe when Alison revealed her cunning plan to bag the best slices.
As they each took a bite out of their pizzas, Alison said: “I actually swapped the pizza when you went to the toilet because I thought that yours looked a bit dry.”
She then gloated that her pizza now had way more cheese, adding: “Don’t you think mine looks so much better.”
A shocked Dermot responded: “You did the old Hammond switcheroo! There’s no trust in this relationship.”
Dermot and Alison are filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield this week as they enjoy their Easter breaks.
There was confusion yesterday when Dermot left Alison to “present alone” as he arrived late.

Ahead of Monday’s edition of the ITV show, Ranvir Singh – in for Lorraine Kelly – cut to Alison, who said: “Can you believe this? He is running late – but I’ve heard he is going to arrive in style.”
Ranvir, who was interviewing fellow TV presenter Patrick Kielty at the time, offered him up if Dermot couldn’t make it on time, to which Alison replied: “Come on over!”
Opening This Morning just moments later, Alison told viewers: “Hello and welcome to This Morning.
“It’s supposed to be me and Dermot all week but obviously he’s forgotten. I can’t believe this, it’s really embarrassing.”
But the camera then cut to Dermot making his way into the studio in a tiny car – the world’s tiniest, in fact.
Alison was left in hysterics and branded her co-host “so extra” for the stunt.
