Dermot O'Leary has This Morning viewers in stitches over cheeky book he's reading

With Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield enjoying a little well-earned break from the This Morning studios during half-term, fans of the ITV programme have been treated to some extra screen time with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary - and what a treat it has been.

In fact, earlier today some viewers were left gasping for air, following an outrageously X-rated joke from Dermot, which had Alison crying with laughter.

While he was out of shot, Alison asked her co-presenter what he was up to, prompting the former X Factor host to reveal he'd picked a book up from the 'library' in the studio, adding that he thought it would be "right up her street."

As Alison looked on with curiosity, Dermot went on to open the book and read out its name: Fanny Hill.

"I was not expecting that," Alison responded while trying to fight back her infectious giggles, but it didn't end there, as Dermot continued on with the book's sub-title, which was 'Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure.'

Wow.

"Put those books away right now! You're not allowed to take from the library ever again," former Big Brother star Alison shouted back at him, but it turns out she wasn't the only one left in stitches.

"The most infectious laugh - cannot watch these two without smiling," one viewer commented on Instagram, while another added: "Alison should be available on prescription! Cheered me right up."

A third wrote: "I just love these two together. They should be on more shows - they never fail to make my day!"

The pair, who usually present This Morning on Fridays, have stepped in to do more shows during the school half-term holidays and judging by viewers' reactions, it looks like we might be set to see even more of them in future.
