Alison Hammond left her fans and followers in a state of shock as she shared her latest selfie on Instagram - with the Prince and Princess of Wales. The This Morning star couldn't have looked happier and neither could the royal couple as they got up close to pose for the camera.
Alison, 48, explained that all would be revealed on This Morning on Friday (April 21) after spending time with Prince William and Kate in her home city of Birmingham on Thursday (April 20). The royals both chatted with TV presenter Alison during the visit to The Rectory bar's 180 Club, which has four interactive darts booths.
It came as William and Kate chatted for more than half an hour with local business owners and workers from the city’s creative industries sector, before taking to separate oches in the cellar bar where they met Alison and the couple tried their hands at a game of darts.

It came after William took an unsuspecting customer’s booking on the telephone as he and his wife visited an Indian street food restaurant in the city. The 40-year-old prince answered the unexpected phone call and took a booking for two while he and Kate were being served a range of Indian dishes at the Indian Streatery restaurant in Bennetts Hill, Birmingham.
And Alison made sure to grab a pic with William and Kate on their trip, which comes as part of a wider tour of the country ahead of the King's coronation next month."These two are Everything!!" the former Big Brother star started the caption of her post.
She added: "@princeandprincessofwales Thanks for popping by in Birmingham. Next time dinner at my place! I’ll let you know full story tomorrow on @thismorning." And the ITV star even got a lovely comment back from William and Kate. "Always fun Alison, it’s always fun!" a message from the couple's official Instagram page read.
And Alison's celebrity pals were stunned. Former Big Brother co-star Kate Lawler said: "WTAF YOU MET THE FUTURE KING AND QUEEN! Drop the mic." Loose Women's Ruth Langsford wrote: "Now that’s what I call a selfie!!" This Morning's beauty expert Sarah Jossel replied: "Whaaaaaaaat!! Amazing amazing." While TV star Anthea Turner added: "Best selfie EVER!!"
