This Morning’s Alison Hammond was left stunned after she faced a savage dig from TV regular Martin Lewis.

The 49-year-old host had been introducing the Money Saving Expert to the programme when he unexpectedly told her he was purposely staying away from the studio in a bid to avoid her. A little taken back by his snub, Alison shot back: “That’s not very nice.”

It all became a bit awkward in the studio as co-star Joel Dommett, 39, began to squirm in his seat, not knowing how to respond. By this point, Martin, who is a regular on the programme and knows Alison well, knew he’d probably crossed a line.

Pleading for forgiveness, he offered his co-star a “cuddle” as a means of moving forward. Instead of accepting his peace offering, Alison, who clearly felt insulted, chimed back: “You can keep your cuddles after that.”

It all proved to be in good spirits though as the former Big Brother star drew a line in the sand as the segment came to a close. She told Martin: “I will be giving you a hug when I next see you, whether you like it or not.”

Alison and the finance guru were reunited after they were plunged into chaos together last week, following a series of technical issues while they were live on-air.

They were supposed to be hosting a phone-in with members of the public calling in with their financial woes in hope that Martin could be able to provide assistance.

However, they were plagued with a number of issues that they couldn’t seem to get passed. Firstly, Martin attempted to connect via a link from his home but was off-centre on the screen.

It all became apparent that things weren’t going to plan. Dermot O’Leary confessed: “We don’t have any communication of who you’re going to be speaking to.”

He added: “We’ll be speaking to Eileen.” As he then asked: “Do we have Eileen?” before telling fans: “Sadly, not no.”

Grabbing the device, Alison said: “Let’s have a look, the phone in… on air… Tina.” Dermot responded: “Nope, that’s yesterday, her sister isn’t coming to her wedding.”

Realising Martin was waiting patiently on-screen for something to happen, the Birmingham-host intervened, she said: “We haven’t got anything on our screen yet. How are you anyway bubs?”
