Alison Hammond left red-faced after Bridgerton blunder about Dermot O'Leary's wife

Alison Hammond was left feeling a little bit embarrassed on Tuesday's This Morning after making a comment about Dermot O'Leary's wife.

Dee Koppang is a producer and director who is best known for her directorial work on The Crown and Justin Bieber : All Around the World.

Dee, 43, served as a second unit director on the first series of Bridgerton, which was released on Netflix on Christmas Day in 2020.

It's finally been confirmed that the second season of the much-loved period drama will land on the steaming service on March 25 and a first look trailer was released this week.

Speaking about the news on Tuesday's This Morning, Alison and Dermot chatted to Vanessa Feltz about some of the steamy scenes and how it shouldn't be watched with your mother-in-law.

At the end of the segment, Alison turned to Dermot and said excitedly: "That's your wife who directed it!"

However, the father-of-one was quick to correct her and said: "Not this series, she didn't work on this series, but before..."

"Oh yeah, before! Not this one, but before!" Alison giggled as Dermot added: "Yeah before, not this one!"

Elsewhere on the ITV show, Alison was in hysterics when Dermot made a cheeky comment about a book he was reading.
