Alison Hammond, the bubbly star of This Morning, turned heads—and raised eyebrows—when she showed up on I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked looking decidedly worse for wear. Down Under in Australia for her guest stint on the ITV2 spin-off, the presenter confessed she was struggling to string words together after a cheeky night out with comedian pal Leigh Francis. With her voice reduced to a husky whisper, Alison’s appearance had fans buzzing about her “hazy daze” on live TV!
Kicking off the show alongside hosts Joel Dommett and Kemi Rogers, Alison didn’t hold back on the drama. “Shall I be honest with you? I’m a little bit under the weather,” she croaked, quickly adding with her trademark humor, “Not that I want to make the show all about me… But I’ve lost my voice. I feel fine, but I’ve lost my voice—partly because Leigh took me out last night.”
Leigh, ever the mischief-maker, jumped in with a wink and a nudge: “Yeah, we went back to my hotel to watch adult-rated content. 18+ movies, of course!” Alison burst into laughter, playfully shutting him down: “We went for a little drinkypoo and now I can’t speak!”
Host Joel Dommett, clearly amused and surprised, chimed in: “I hope you can make it through the episode.” Alison shot back with a grin: “So do I!” Joel couldn’t resist complimenting her raspy tone, calling it “sexy,” before diving into the fun. He challenged Alison, Leigh, and fellow guest Melvin Odoom to a mini Bushtucker Trial—those infamous gross-out challenges that test even the toughest celebs.
But Alison wasn’t having it, joking: “Due to medical reasons, I might not be able to do it.” Leigh, spotting his chance, yelled out: “What, because you’re hungover?” The banter had the studio in stitches, proving that even on a rough morning, Alison’s infectious energy shines through.
Despite her vocal woes, Alison powered on to dissect the latest jungle drama from the I’m A Celebrity camp. Highlights included Jack Osbourne’s emotional breakdown, leaving viewers teary-eyed, and the stomach-churning eating trial featuring Ruby Wax and Angry Ginge—talk about a feast fit for nightmares!
Tensions were high elsewhere too, with camp chef Jack clashing with Kelly Brook over her “wrong knife” mishap, earning her a stern telling-off. And let’s not forget host Ant McPartlin’s rare outburst, branding the celebs the “most hapless bunch of idiots” after Angry Ginge accidentally set the camp ablaze in a smoky disaster.
Alison’s wild Aussie adventure might have left her voiceless, but it only amplified her charm on screen. Here’s hoping she recovers soon—because TV just isn’t the same without her full-throated laughs!
